You know, that explains why he's never grown like I was told he would.
Royals are notorious for being slow growers.
He seems to eat whatever falls into the tank. I have a large piece of driftwood that he chews on and eats the algae off of, and I feed him algae wafers and flakes. I also feed the other fish in the tank bloodworms and brine shrimp, which he seems to like as well. I've never had much success getting him to eat veggies, but I thought I'd try again.
They love wood. Bloodworms are brineshrimp are ok. You'd be surprised how little protein those foods have, but it can ruin your Royal. They need some protein, but they definatly need more vegetable matter than meaty foods. You should definatly try again with the veggies. My L-190 loves zuccini. I haven't tried anything else because of the success I had with the zuccini.
Are all the pictures on that page of the same species? For instance, the first picture looks like my fish, but the second does not - his tail is different.
All the same except for the second link.
Thank you very much for the identification!
