Lima shovelnose?

[ck_jackson87]

I currently have a 11-12" lima, with weekly water changes and a great diet I haven't been able to get him to grow more than an inch or so every couple months. He has girthed out a decent amount though. I have not been able to get him to accept pellets, but rather a diet of shrimp, tilapia and earthworms.

I have 2 limas. Ive had one for about a month and a half, bought it at around 4 inches and now its about 5. I just bought the second one today. Mine started eating my jack dempseys pellets within a week, but now he doesnt eat them anymore... Occasionally if he doesnt steal the entire cube of bloodworms, he will eat my bichir's sinking pellets haha.
