My senegals (and ornate for that matter) have been growing like wildfire. I got them a month ago at about 2.5 and 3" and now they have each added around an inch. They get freeze-dried krill and earthworms, hikari cichlid pellets, algae wafers (strangely their favorite food it seems), and once a week frozen bloodworms and beefheart. There are still 4 albinos at the store I got them from and mine is at least 1/2" bigger than them even though they were the same size a few weeks ago

alright, thats about the same diet as mine.
i noticed he ate a earth worm chunk a little to big and i noticed a rip under his jaw. im guessing its fine, but is it normal?
