My Giraffe that lives in with the Nigers
 
:ROFL: wow know thats a title for a thread but really those are nice cats
 
Nice looking cats DJC776. I also have a large niger and giraffe. What do you feed them? I'm always looking for cheaper options b/c they eat and eat and eat........
Thanks

KNH the main food they all eat is a high quality Koi pellet. To feed all of my fish Hikari Gold, which would be the preferred option, would mean me on bread and cheese!!

They also take some of the whitebait and prawns that the cichlids and predatory cats chew on.

Every few weeks I buy a couple of kgs of worms (sorry nightcrawlers lol) which everything has.

do they puppies grow very big? if so then how big?? peace :)

I think the big lad is probably near enough full grown. Not only is he long but also very full bodies so there is a lot of fish there. The younger one has a long way to go body weight size. My Giraafe is about 22" I suppose and so will grow a little more as well. I think my Marmoratus is just about full grown as well.

If you look on the back wall I have a big pleaco as well but I have forgotten the species. I will have to look up!

I take it that they will eat from the top then ? (since koi pellets normally float) Just an FYI but I've seen nigers 42" at a local zoo so your big fella isn't quite done yet:D

I will be installing an 8' x 4' pond as my sump in the Trop House so my Nigers and posibbly the Marmoratus will go in there. I will then put more CA cichlids in this tank
