Massivore delite before and after

[Blue Demp]

I've been powerfeeding this guy with massivore delite since I got him. He can easily chow down 7-8 at once. Here are the end results. It also helped with his hump growth as well. I was trying to take a pic of his hump but then he leaped to the floor. He is now a solid 11"

was he okay after leaping to the floor.. power feeding is not a good thing to do with cichlids especially with massivore delite ...just wayyy to much protein.. he is probably jumping out of his skin... and the risk of bloat is present with massive protein amounts.. now that you have him to this great size offer him more veggie matter... he is beautiful

yar i totally agree with liz...i powerfed my flowerhorn so much with pellets that his fatness messed up his equilibrium in his body so he couldnt really swim straight anymore. it got to the point where hed just lay down on the ground for weeks on end. finally he just died.....total rookie mistake that happened many years ago but i still regret it. massivores wud probably speed up the process of messing this fish up! dont do it!

i agree with liz, but he is beautiful, think he needs other things now

Honestly, I'm not seeing much of a change. It seems like he had more color in the before picture. There doesn't look to have been to much head growth either.

Didn't that breed with another one of your fish? What happened to the fry?!?!

you're right... I will take your advice. I was actually alternating between NLS, Massivore Delite and Night crawlers but now that I have the size I want him at, I'll just slowly vary his diet more.

Thanks. It would really suck to lose this guy.
