their diet now is strictly live....I have resorted to a new method ...1 due to cost(I can get live adult fathead minnow very cheaply from a distributer....and 2 I can bulk the minnows on plankton and spirulina before feeding(a weeek long quar. and bulk feed to the minnows before feeding to the bass). They were on a market shrimp diet from 6-7" untill 12" then I converted to this method to approx 200 live feeders a day.D'mack,
AMAZING AS ALWAYS even though you kind of intimidate me. lol
What do you feed your cichla to acheive the nice color? My only pbass, farm boy mono, use to eat anything I threw ate him (shrimp, squid, worms) and now for no reason at all wouldnt eat them anymore and I had to resort to feeders for the last couple weeks. Im bummed!
just like the tems I will have to sacrifice eventually and thin out again...it is nice having so many types ect but eventually(due to size) you have to pick favorites and let some go...I will utimately dedicate that tank to a single pair of adults...I would rather have two freight trains in there happy than a slugfestLooks a tad dull without the Tems, other then that beautiful set up!
