Your channa diets?

[KarthikC]

Guys, what about the guppies/mollies that we culture on our own? The fries are not good for channa?

Cheers,

Karthik

of course they are. though not all Channa are piscivore. A lot of them prefer molluscs, snails, worms, etc....

My experiemnce with Micros is they don't love fish when young.

Lucius and Argus, on the other hand, love it

It depends on the species you have.

Mine:
Micros - everything except fish and dry food

Pleuro - everything

Andrao - everything except fish. Love Massivore and floating sticks

Bleheri - mussels; are starting with massivore

Pulchra - as Andrao, but what really gets them in a frenzy is Massivore

Lucius - fish

Sp Platinnum - Fish

Auranti (1) - everything but fish

Auranti (2 ) - everything but fish. Loves Massivore

Auranti (3) - cannot get her out of worms.

( Marulioides - 8 months with me only ate one worm once. No noticeable slimming or loss of condition.mwent to Joao today to see if he can turn it around to eating )

Your's?

when you say you feed the platinum's "fish" what do you mean? I know you don't do live fish so do you just buy fresh fish at the grocery store?

By fish I mean frozen smelt and silversides and frozen catfish or Tilapia fillets, sliced into pieces.

Im struggling to feed my 2 leftover gachua fry, I thought they would be greedy and eat whats put in, but these 2 are fussy, Ive tried brine shrimp, prawn, live mysis, frozen bloodworm, etc. Micro Cichlid pellets. Maybe they could be stressed?, they are in an holding tank at the minute as my larger tank hasnt cycled yet. Any advice, Thanks.

They probably need more time to set in. Do they have enough places to hide? Stress, as you've already guessed, could be the issue here.
