Saw the bit the lap being inbred but I think it is wild caught. Since friday I have tried feeding it I tried frozen blood worms frozen white schrimp broken massivore pelet it didn't touch any I was surprised about the blood worms and white schrimp not being touched .So just now I cut a live earth worm in half and dropped half into the tank the lap immediately attacked the worm several times before eating it dropped the other half in and the same thing again so could be a challenge feeding this lap if I keep it as it only seems to want live food to eat.

Quite sure it’s inbred. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t take frozen means it’s wc
 
yes possible just thought a cb would be brought up on food like pellets only seems to like earth worms it better start eating or the ornate will have it for lunch as the ornate is putting on size the lap is in a grow out at the moment.
 
Well rang the store today to see in the telugesi was coming tomorrow but have said the shipment from africa hadn't arrived so may be next week. the deformed lap is doing ok likes earth worms and talipa but nothing else.

They are very hard to get in the first place and then the propper care taken when I opened the box and felt how cold the water in the bags I knew they may not survive '
