Pellet traing a 5 inch kelberi?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Too small to let go more than a couple of days. And yes Cichla will starve themselves to death. If they aren't trying to eat the pellet it's because they don 't know if it's food, so starving it won't help, teach it. If they are mouthing but not swallowing just give it time and a little hunger.

Add ditcher fish and starve after a live meal. They will see ditcher feeding and will hit pellet just to see what's it's about. Feed live when it had a sunken belly n repeat. Broke my 5" kel in a week

Thats kinda small to be starving imo. I had one that didnt eat for 3 weeks and finally gave in. I didnt have a choice though. He was part of a group that started eating pellets so I didnt have another tank for him. I didnt want to compromise the others. Needless to say hes alive and well now but he did go 3 weeks. paper thin.

I would be worried if I didn't feed my Kel for 3 days never mind 3 weeks. Also I am trying to get him on Northfin the guy at the store said that the people who bred fish locally have said that northfin is really good wonder if u guys have tried it and is it good or not for Cichlas
