Rio Meta vs Rio Yucao orino cichla

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Your orinos look great! Im surprised they are taking the sticks whole. How did you train them to do that?
 
Mine are approx. 2 & 3/4 inches now. I give pellets and after they gorge on pellets then frozen blood worms as a desert.

I never gave live and never will.

I don't like live either but I had to fatten them up quick to put with my other bass. Didn't want them to get eaten!! Now that they are ok together I can slowly convert them to food sticks.

I started out with breaking them into small chunks then increased the size gradually.

The oscar also helped train as well. Another reason to add an oscar.

I guess I got lucky my orinos were not stubborn either.

You make it sound so easy. I wished I could do that lol. I will be getting orinos in soon and I want to get them onto pelleted foods as well.
 
Here are some cell phone pics of my lil guys!!

IMO, They are one in the same. (Colombia) IMO, The geographic location are to close for major morphs, color, size etc. Now compare Ven orinos, Brazilian Orinos, Singapore orinos and Colombian orinos.
 
They're a lot fatter lol. That Oscar is dope!

They eat like pigs and are taking hikari carn sticks whole exclusivly. They still get blood worms as desert.

The oscar is non-violent so if he's a dope , thats great for me.

Hahahahhahahahahahabbaa "dope" when being said as it was, also means "awesome". If he were to say "that oscar is a dope" then he was calling it dumb/stupid.

I once told my mom, while we were at my little sisters soccer game, that the other teams black jerseys were "sick" and she said "that's not nice! Dont say that!" haha "sick" also means awesome lol
