Right, I was ready for something new too, so perfect timing to get my hands on these guys.
nice share bro...got one too alittle bigger than yours..
Nice, we can compare grow outs along the way, always fun to see the differences.
Sure will, I'm a sucker for the red eye's myself too!
Right, best part of getting grow outs... Never do know...what will they look like? Will I have a stunner in the group? I'm hoping (dreaming) they turn out to be Intermedia... Never know.. Their wild caught... Same location Intermedia swim, breed and live.... Guy can dream though.. But how cool would that be to find out down the road these are..
Yes it is, yes it is... Get them while you can though - seems to always go from feast or famine...
Thanks brother!
Well thank you good sir, and I plan nothing but the best from these four.. They are already eating like mad dogs too, I feed them three times a day now and have already pellet trained them and have only had them 5 days now. However I'm a strong believer that pellets isn't enough and a array of different foods are key to health and appearance. May sound weird to most but I feed anything from cut pieces of frog legs, tadpoles, red worms, blood worms, krill, clams, De-shelled live snails, shiners, all kinds of different raw fish both caught myself and bought, mussels, mice, shrimp, crickets, and once even a baby live duck to my arrow.. hahahaha I did that for a youtube vid but then backed out from posting because I figured I'd get hammered by all the tree hug-ers... Point is IMO, Monster fish like the cichla weren't meant to only eat pellets or feeders and I believe if you introduce them to a wide variety of foods especially young you have a better chance to get the most out of them as far as their pattern / color / heath potential goes. Of course water quality and available space runs hand in hand along with diet to accomplish this but I like to push people to think outside the box sometimes and remember where these fish come from and what they eat in the wild... I'm sure you have seen all the different photo's of fishermen holding up their catch (peacock bass) and you thinking Wow... That's one hot looking bass... then wondering why they don't seem to look that good in our tanks etc.. Well, IMO that answer probably lies with diet.. Think about it..
thanks for that awesome compliment brother, I'll take that any day -
I have those too
I thought so too, and it was nice to get some new blood in the tanks... It has been awhile..
Lol yeah,can't leave out pinimas....I agree with you on the feeding regimen.I think variety is always good.
Sweet man! Can't wait to see these guys in a few months grown up alittle
