Stunning colors! I can't wait! Truly a magnificent fish. What do you feed? Right now I am using a mix of Formula one and two with spirulina powder as a staple, they're a little to small for pellets. They get Mysis and bloodworms frozen in addition to spirulina and formula two frozen, and a little spinach for good luck (I read that festae had a diet that composed of almost %25 vegetable matter in the wild, have you heard anything like this?) They also get the pureed earthworms as an occasional fresh treat.
Breeding Large Cichlids
- Thread starter scott
- Start date
HBH Soft and Moist with Spirulina, freeze dried krill, Jehmcos Veggie flakes, Raw shrimp, Basic Tetra Cichlid color sticks, blanched lettuce. Shell eat anything I put in the water.
Also she LOVES big water chages. I normaly do 50% every week but sometimes ill take out 75-80% of the water. When i fill it back up she goes right into breeding colors and her tube comes out. She has laid eggs twice after i have done that.
