They may not care how agressive it could be in nature. I keep a large Vieja community and they still show aggro towards eachother. Just not to the point of killing one another. It is a way to keep a community of Cichlids without having to deal with total chaos. And even then it doesn't work all the time.

Unless you breed your own feeders, store bought feeders can contain diseases that you can spread to your fish that you are feeding them to. Also in my experience feeding live prey makes cichlids more aggressive then feeding them a diet of prepared food.

Danny^d;1351605; said:they get both. i give them feeders about once or twice a month. if they cant deal with a lil shiner and the disease he carrys. i guess ill have to get new fish... but rock has first dibs on their roomier tank if they croke.
