Male or female?
This "guy" has been with me for a while. I got jack around 5 inches. He's grown a decent amount but I feel as though he hasn't grown to his full potential. He was cooped up in a 55 gallon for about 8 months. And is now in a 125 gallon.
He seems to eat very sparingly. Not very agressive. So I wonder if he's eating enough?? I've actually had feeders in the tank too and he didnt touch them/ doesn't care about small fish.
Also I have trouble getting him to eat period because he is so shy. He doesn't want to come to the top of the tank. And if he does he darts up and grabs a small piece and darts back down to hide. All my other little cichlids pretty much jump out of the water.
He does eat the occasional ghost shrimp.
I have flakes, pellets, freeze dried blood worms, and freeze dried krill.
Anything else I can try??
