I try to feed 2xdaily, once every couple of weeks i withhold food for a day. Rarely do i feed 3xdaily. Gotta keep the bloat away
Fed= Tetra cichlid sticks, Trout chow (bulk from lfs), Cichlid Staple, wardley's cichlid pellets, occasionally market shrimp, krill, and rarely feeder guppies i grew myself! Still trying to see if he'll eat peas, severum loves them
With Water changes once every 4-8 days.
I gotta admit, it's growth rate is slow yet faster than i expected.
