Green Terror question(s)

Well, for my cichlids I feed New Life Spectrum pellets, and give frozen krill, blood worms and mysis shrimp 2-3 time a week, and I have fabulous colors in my nototaenia and blue rams. When I remember I do throw in peas from time to time, and there is always a bit fo ucumber in the tank, but that's moslty for the pleco

I am in the no feeder camp BTW, quality pellets are higher in protein
 
ur welcome yeah not to many feeders becuz they will get spoiled and all they will want is feeders, they are basically like lil kids. Quality pellots and frozen and/or freez dried foods are excellent. and ur green terrors are gonna be new stars!
 
thanks for all the advice, you guys have been great. i am going to the petstore tomorrow and I am going to try to get them some frozen foods, does anyone have green terrors that prefer certain stuff, or things they won't touch. have been trying earthworms and mealworms from my bait shop and they're being eagerly gobbled up. i found that soaking my pellets has made them a lot more appetizing for my fish.
Cheers

I feed my Tiger Oscar and Jack Dempsey the same thing and Im really liking the results. When I had a terror I also fed him Spectrum and he loved it.

earthworms and meal worms are REALLY healthy for them so keep feeding them that and pellots and frozen foods with an occational feeder here and there and that Terror should be close to a show fish :D
 
I just took 2 of them back to the store today, i bought some hikari gold, some frozen brine shrimp and some bloodworms, good to hear that the earthworms and such are good for them, that are available and fresh. my closes lfs is like 1.5 hour drive away, so its nice to know thay're available. what about maggots, they have some of them too. i have heard of poeple using live minnows that they got from their bait shops. any thoughts?

Cheers D
 
Any insect is good for ur terror and I wouldnt do minnows since they provide hardly any nutrition I would stick with gold fish.
 
re:

i feed my GT with shrimp pellets, wild caught blood worms, frozen shrimp and cichlid flakes... and sometimes beefheart, chicken or meat... and he love everything!!! :clap:
 
Chicken or meet? how do you do this? Do you just throw raw chunks in?
