Is my gulper growing too slowly?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
At first approximation, I'd not think the fish species matter. What can matter is that whole fish is the best with head, bones, guts, scales - a more or less total nutrition package.

One could try and find some fish species closest to what gulpers usually prey on in the wild but I think this'd be an overkill.

If mostly nutrition-poor fillets are offered, than a soak in Vitachem would be desirable, or high quality pellets could be stuffed in the fillets.
would sardines work?
 
I think they would. If they are very fatty though, I'd dilute them with leaner, more tropical kind of fishes, marine or freshwater.
