Those are handsome .. well i too bought a pair of pbass yesterday .. each 3" .. they were fed live feeders in my lfs .. when shall i change the diet from live feeders to pellets or krill ? Should I wait till they are about 6" or so ? Any advise
They are still small I would get them on prepared foods asap. Bloodworms to pellets or cut fish like tilapia or silversides and krill/shrimp. I've done a bloodworm/mystis shrimp well with young fish in the past as well.
I got 4 myself early last week. When i spoke to Jeff, the location point was 5 miles up the rio meta river so he believes these are possibly the same. I also ordered 4 intermedia at the same time. So far i lost an intermedia mid last week and one just today. No signs of illness. Bellies were full of food. Then a few hours later dead. Orinos are doing fine. One ocellaris checks out ok. And the last two intermedia seem ok. No clue whats going on
One of my orino was acting funny the first day but has since been ok. I started to get some of those intermedia but just got the orinos. Please do a do a thread on those intermedia, always been curious of the growth rate of those.
Update on the 3 original orino from Rapps. I did lose one to unknown reason but got another to replace his spot in the trio once he gets eating well. They love eating cutfish,krill, blackworms, bloodworms but I limit bloodworms at this point in there growth. The 2 remaining fish are right at the 4in mark and boss around the azuls in the tank that are around the same size.
This is the new orino I just got to replace the one that died. He’s about 3-3.5 and only eating live as of yesterday. He took mystis shrimp this morning. I’ll try bloodworms after work.
