This 4 inch guy just ate 16 hikari floating carnivore sticks for his last meal. I had a 6.5 inch Broko ocellaris that ate 7 sticks in 1 meal as his biggest pig out. Sadly he died a few months ago.
I can't believe how much this Kelberi can eat... I cut him off , because he still wanted more.
Look at that belly compared to the photo of the day he came home.
My next project will be a possible Rapps 1.5 inch wild orino in my 29 gal with the 1.5 inch oscar and 1.5 inch geophagus surinamensis. I will grow thoses guys out to a size big enough that can't be eaten by the Kelberi then put them together.
I just took this photo of my SA purchased kelberi bahia. I bought him 9 days ago and he has definitly grown a bit. Look at the color he is showing already.
Compare today with 9 days ago.
Notice all the red in the tail and red in the pelvic fins starting. This guy is gonna be a looker.
