this guy crunched his eye as a baby and has no vision on his left side. You can see in the pics that he has a lot of scratches on his left side. I'm not sure if they are from him bumping into stuff or from the other fish picking on his weak side.

when u get the small spot looking good. Nice pics. How big is the sp
 
great shots dude. I threw in 20 danios, 50 guppies, 6 red eye tetras, and 5 un-ID'ed native fish in my cichlid tank just 2 hours ago, myself.
 
that is just sick and wrong there are only a few fish that must eat feeders to live but other than that sticking a fish in just to watch it died is cruel and barbaric!

that is not true many "monster fish" do not need live fish sorry to be a little harsh.

BTW what is that in pic number 1?
 
you can be as harsh as you want, but I have been keeping fish for quite a while now and hardly ever use feeders. Temensis, however, are very picky eaters and are almost impossible to feed only non-live foods. I have had them eat pellets and blackworms, but they just don't beef up on those types of foods. They will obviously eat some when they are real hungry, but usually they will just ignore a pellet. There is no way anyone can afford a strict diet of blackworms for these monsters, as they could easily go through 3 lbs. in a week. I feed them feeders maybe once a month to give them a really full belly and a little excercise, and I find nothing wrong with that.

The fish in the first picture is a crenicichla lenticulata.
