But not high quality, blood worms, krill, mysis shrimp would be much better choices.
 
i agree... stick to higher quality foods..

ya

but i have some brine and mysis that im gona feed em
i picked up 3 today =)
 
UH/.... :) OK...

Anywho.. How big are they now and how much growth do you want ....
 
How much growth do you WANT? Should we really be feeding fish to get the growth we WANT to see in them? Or feeding them so that they're healthy???
 
im not tryiung to make them grow slow at all
i was just wondering
and the biggest one is about 3 inches
and the smallest abouyt 1 and a half
 
this brings up a very interesting topic if you ask me.. i notice people will stuff there cichla 5 times a day.. i feel this is extremely un natural.. yes im sure the fish is happy but healthy? is it? have you ever compaired the body shape of an overfed fish to a normal fed cichla? the overfed fish will not have a normal body shape but will actually look 'fat and sloppy' which alot of people like. do you really think a peacock bass in the wild is filling his/her gut to the max 3 times a day.. they are lucky if they eat a few fish a day. keep in mild, in the wild, they have to prowl through current and constantly hunt for food which equal exercise which equals ... less food and more calorie burn. so is it really healthy to overfeed your cichla? i feed mine a few medium/ small high nutirient meals a couple of times a day, variety, supply them witha bit of current.. and they still grow fast and have great colors ;)
