Pseudodoras niger & Hoplias malabaricus?

Try feeding frozen market prawns instead of beefheart. I had the same problem with my old Preuvian mala. I think it may just be too hard on their stomachs. You will get some really good growth using shrimp too. good luck bro.
 
KRSwop1,

Thanks for the advice. That's exactly what I did instead, and he loves them. No throwing up in the past week on a diet of prawns :thumbsup: I just have the impression he needs something more nutritious. Last night, I hid a feed tablet in a prawn, I think I'll do that more frequently now. It adds some fiber and veggies to the prawns. After all, when they eat feeders, they also eat their gut contents.

Thanks again,
HarleyK
 
No problem bro. But, beef heart desn't have thet much nutrients either. It's basically just a good source of protien, same with the shrimp. Have you tryed nightcrawlers? They have a lot more nutrients too. You can also supplement quarantined feeders and frozen silversides.
