I ordered 2 Grammodes from Rapps today and I can't wait till they get here. I will post Pics once I get them. I was also Wondering if this is a good schedule For The Cubans and Grammodes as well

Feed them once a day(SMALL serving).
Not much aggression.
I feed mine in the mornings ONLY
Monday=NLS+Algae Wafer
Tuesday=Krill+Water change
Wednesday=Bio-Gold
Thursday=NLS+Water Change
Friday=Bloodworms & Market Shrimp
Saturday=Algae Wafer+Bio-Gold
Sunday=Algae Wafer+Water Change

The algae wafer is broken into small pieces.
When I change the water it is about 50%.
 
i would feed twice a day or 3 times a day small feedings , they are not prone to bloat
 
I would probably feed a little more. But they are not very big eaters and not very fast growers.
 
I feed my trio 2-3 times a day but they will only eat a couple pellets or flakes at a time and sometimes they wont eat at all. Very very picky. The schedule you got from my thread was based of a schedule for a beani that was also used for MSC'S beani and grammodes but is mainly so his beani didnt get bloat. The grammodes need to eat a lil more and if they eat keep feeding them till they stop because of all mine my rapps grammodes is the pickiest and his size shows
 
This seems completely un-necessary...

Feed NLS or another quality pellet a couple of times a day...and live worms or other meaty foods a couple of times per week...do a water change each week.

Grammodes aren't sensitive or bloat-prone fish (nor are Cubans).

What Matt said.

To which I will add, juvenile fish have much higher metabolisms than adult fish, and will do much better in growth and overall health if fed 2-3 small feedings per day, vs only 1.

Now are you talking ab out night crawlers for worms or blood worms or both and what type of meaty foods???
 
You can supplement with whatever you like, and mix it up as much as you like. The key for juvenile fish is to feed smaller amounts 2-3 times a day, vs just once a day.
