I always loved your FM. How come mine wont grow at all! Not even a millimeter.

thanks everyone. I fed earthworms to the GT and JD in this tank for about 6 months. This guy was always first or second to grab the first one so that probably helped A LOT. I just feed like everyone else i guess...mixing it up worms, krill, hikari gold pellets and hikari cichlid staple.

w/c around 30-40% 1 x per week.

Now I only feed once per day ...tank stays cleaner and they're more active IMO

I mix up her diet alot with high protien and do tons of WCs and nothing. Oh well I got a runt. I love her though shes the most aggressive 3 inch fish I've ever seen.
