No, there were no significant signs that they were stressed. I fed them a little yesterday, enough that each ate about three massiovore pellets, then about 4 hours later, I did a 25% w/c. All were doing fine last night when the night lights switched on, I sat and watched them for about 5 minutes, then went to bed. I didn't check on them before I left for work, but got the call about 2:30pm from my fiance. These were the fish that I was really wanting to keep for a while as the festae were the last ones that I added about a month or so ago.

Here is a post that I made earlier http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=233334

The Massiovore pellets are probably the reason... they are #1 too big for the fish too eat more importantly they should not eat that much protein... cichlids do not require all that much protein or they run the high risk of bloat.... i was trying to feed my clown knife massiovore pellets and my severum grabbed it.. next day i lost him... so #1 no more massivore pellets and you should be fine with the rest of them...get regular cichlid pellets.

Arrgghhhhh I fed them very little, the O's got the majority of the pellets I put in the tank. It was a first time feeding for them on that massiovore, and it was their last meal..........(O*&@W(#*R$(@*Y#R*(*&

Well hot dang.....I should have used the Cichlid Gold I bought instead of the massiovore.


Anyone want a freshly bag of Massiovore

Massiovore is excellent food ... just not for cichlids...
