What's the growth rate like on the Hollandi? Mine has been a wimpy eater since day one. I'm sure that's due to the fact he's the smallest fish in the tank, but the way my other guys eat, he may be lunch.
I imported the hollandis at 18 inches. Took them a LONG TIME before they started to eat anything. I tried frozen, pellets and even live. They didn't eat anything for an entire month lol. Made me worry but one day, 1 of the hollandis started to eat sinking cichlid gold. The rest followed and now they are eating machines.
I have imported a lot of smaller hollandis, roughly 6 inch and after a day or two, they were eating sinking cichlid gold pellets really well. Gold tors as well.
