Hey guys I'm new to the site thought I'd start my post account with some pics of my little green terror I've had for 4 months now. He was easily the best looking one I'd seen in along time and even though I didn't have the right set up I grabbed him anyways an in he went with the angels dwarf cichlids, tetras and catfish. Needless to say I've had to move them all on now lol. First pick is February when he was 4-5cm 2nd is from this week now hitting 11-12cm, gets 3-4 feeds a day of hikari cichlid bio gold plus and weekly 60-70% water changes. Damn they grow slow though just can't wait to see his quality when big. Thanks for viewing, comments welcome.

Thank you, his orange has only just started to really intensify since switching his diet to hikari bio gold plus a month ago as well as beginning to stack on heaps more thickness.
 
You have one good looking guy in there...they are slow growers....but wonderful to interact with...what is the feed other than the Bio gold plus ?
That's pretty much it these days, the first couple of months he was getting nls Thera a, nls grow and hikari discus bio gold but at that stage I also had angels and dwarf cichlids ( they have all been moved on now) but he didn't like any of them no where near as much as at bio gold plus, I probably should incorporate some veg and other different stuff into his diet but I've just been lazy I guess. He's spoilt rotten tho lol and never stops trying to get your attention haha

Starting to really thicken up. Have since replaced 1-2 of his daily feeds of bio gold with cichlid excel so he gets some greens after searching through the forums on here and reading that it can benefit them. He appears to enjoy it to.

This is an amazing GT man, I feed my GT cichlid Bio gold too and it loves it mind you it eats just about anything though haha even algae wafers that are meant for my silver dollars.
