It's a Planktivore so it may just spit anything out that is big you cant get Brine shrimp or Bloodworms or even Daphnia (aka Water fleas?) ? Do your best to get some food soon they're very fragile at this age

Looks like I have no choice but to bite the bullet and order something then
Appreciate the info...

Don't have any experience with African Aro's, wish I did they're a fish I've been wanting for along time. A really sweet pick-up! As for brine shrimp, even in your area you should be able to get a hold of them. If not from a pet store order mail order sea-monkeys they're brine shrimp the names just a clever marketing ploy. Lol! They breed readily are very easy to keep and come as dry eggs in the mail so no D.O.A.'s. They send you everything you need including the salt for keeping them properly. Then all you need is a very fine mesh net scoop 'em out rinse 'em off and feed. They live in freshwater for awhile so their movements will also help stimulate a feeding response. Good luck and hope that helped you.

Oh I am familar with them..Had to raise them for piranha fry....I will find another route to take though-I'm not going through that mess again...

This store says they carry Omega One? They must carry frozen fish food.

I just wish the store would do what they say......:irked:

I broke down an placed an order.....I needed a new pump and some other misc items anyhow....
