Thanks everyone for all this great advice! As a side note, my LFS is somewhat notorious for selling mislabeled fish...They had this ornate mislabeled as a Delhezi when I found it (not sure how you mistake the two, they look so different). Anyways the price difference is about 30 bucks so I got my little Ornate for $15
Very pleased to see you all agree that it is indeed an ornate lol
So just to summarize, Hikari carnivore pellets, and frozen tilapia, should this tilapia be pre-cooked then when I buy it? Or am I looking for raw tilapia?
Oh this note, I appreciate your advice, I've made this mistake before, currently I have a JD cichlid that simply won't touch pellets or flakes, it's a pain in the butt. I am determined to get this little poly on a pellet diet. I typically soak the food for my other fish in vitachem and garlic guard at least two to three times a week. I was hoping to get at least some vitamins to him that way, but I've got the Hikari pellets on order as well, I'll try pre-soaking them and hand feed him that way. Finally, I'm interested in getting some smelt and prawns, however I have never heard of/seen either of these items at my local stores, i'm assuming this is because I have never looked for them before though. I'm going to the store this evening to see what I can find. I'll be sure and let you know how this all turns out!
