When I want to power feed my grow outs I use a plastic syringe that we usually use for administering drugs to our horse. Works great as a precise little baster. I let the brine shrimp thaw in the syringe then slowly let the food trickle out into the tank. This way I assure that all the fish get a fair share...and I only let out what can be eaten. Less waste to foul the water. The pictures are a little soft...but you get the point.

I power fed these little Parachromis La Cieba (Yellow Head Parachromis) You can see by the bulge in the stomach that this little guy (1") didn't miss much.

And one unusual shot of the largest GG. I am starting to notice some aggression. Thank God I will be getting rid of these in a few weeks.

Synspilum are typical Paratheraps Cichlids. They are agressive with conspecifics (other Synspilum) and in some cases other Paratheraps/Vieja types...but in general do well with other like sized cichlids. If you get a breeding pair, all bets are off. If you get a chance to get them...I would highly recommed it.
 
beautiful looking fish and nice looking pics..
