is there sumthing worng with my CK??

[Edwin]

well i have had my ck for a while now i say like 5-6 months and his growth has improved. he has only grown min 1 inch.i have been reading in thread that cks have a fast growth rate. but idk if its my feeding or its just him. i feed him krill in the morning, and beefhearts with cichlid pallets in the evening.is my feeding wrong?? my w/c is basically 30% every sunday. plz help, i would love to see my ck grow to a monster. he is in a 60g for now, i have placed him in a 150g but he gets bullied by everybody else. any advice would help

thanks
Edwin

not sure, you should stick him in your pond when you get on that though!

i was thinking about that when he gets bigger, but he is a small little guy, i say around 5-6 inches big. too small for my pond, dont you think????

that seems really slow, my big ck has grown from 6" to 16" in 5-6months and my small ck from 4" to 7" in less than 2 months. they mainly eat market shrimp, and some earthworms now and then, possibly pellets but i have never seen them eat em.

so what do u recommend for me to feed him?? he is very picky of wat i offer him. it took a while to get him to eat pallets. before he wouldnt eat anything. sumtime i feed him guppies

I'd go with frozen bloodworms regularly and some feeders (if you want to lay off the live feeders that's fine, but with my experience, live feeders help) maybe once a week. And bump up your water changes to 50%
