Some days have passed since I got my basses.

Succesfully brought 7 Cichla kelberi (20 cm +). 2 died from jumpin off from the tank in the adaptation.

From the five that are alive, 3 are eating well and fatening up like crazy.

The other 2 are so picky to eat. Im very worried because one is a monster male, so beautiful. The other one has an ugly no spangled weird pattern for a Ceará kelberi.

I didnt give then live feeders and I wont do. I prefer losing then for starvation than losing for any weird disease.

The two that arent eating fear me like crazy, really dont know what to do anymore. They just hide when I come close to the tank.

If somebody has any tip, I would be very pleased.

Btw, sorry for the fu***** quality. You will see them better after 1:40
 
Its the fish that matter not the camera. And you have some amazing fish! Jealous that you can just catch those!
 
Lucas next time try taking still shots.
Hold a pair of glasses in front of the camera lense. Make sure the lenses are polarized so that it will take the glare off the water.

As for the two that wont eat.
Feed the ones that eat pellets like you normally would first.
Then try feeding the other 2 frozen fish pieces of filets.
Over here they sell fish called silversides. SMall whole minnow type fish that were frozen whole.
You can drop them in the current.
FIrst i would try wiggling them at the top to get their attention.
