For all those MFK peacock bass lovers my Kelberi "Luther" wanted to say hello!

He's probably about 6-7 months old and he is about 7". I got him when he was about 4.5-5" in November. So age is an estimate.

This guy hits everything. Pellets, sticks and flakes. Loves the krill the most.

 

[Tony A.]

Super.

Sweet patterns on this guy

Here is his brother Theo. Theo is a brat and has only eaten sticks once. Sometimes I stuffem in krill but he usually spits the stick out. Theo waits until he sees me pull out the bag of krill. Starving has not worked so far. He just waits for the krill.

Think it's his sister.

Theo (she?) still is a picky eater. She does eat freeze dried minnows. I break them up and stuff sticks in them. I also use VitaChem on krill and minnows but she spits it out sometimes due to the taste. My new method is to put drops INSIDE the minnow. I am now alternating minnow with krill due to thiaminase.
Most likely will split up Theo and Luther when my new 200gal arrives and cycles.
Need to get her on sticks, and Luther sometimes picks on her. Recently she got her soft dorsal fin split (Luther?). Using VitaChem and Seachem stress guard (low does) to help heal.

Of course Luther eats anything. He eat some bug bite yesterday! Hits everything.
