Duncan7 Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Had them nearly 3 years, bought them from a guy when they were about 7-8cm? big one is now atleast 25cm, maybe closer to 30cm two smaller are atleast 20. They eat hikari cichlid gold 'big' size floating pellets, hikari massivore sinking pellets, shrimp every couple of days and the odd bit of beef heart...

Fruju Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 cool, just wondering what other people feed theirs, I've had my 2 for about a year or two and they are around 15cm-17cm, dont know what size they were when I got them, i feed mine hikari floating pellets, sinking tabs, meaty mix stuff and the occasional bug in the garden - usually worms Very slow growth rate tho :-?

Duncan7 Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Yeah they grow quite slow, but thats just them they are cool, mine will also get the odd bit of discus tucker They are pretty good eaters, try to keep the pellets as the bulk of their food as its just so good to have them on pellets, the smaller two are happy on them but the bigger guy is increasingly enjoying the shrimp and i tend to be increasing the amount of it im feeding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Yeah watch out he might get hooked, end up with an expensive mistake :-? cheaper to feed on pellets Ive been trawling this really awesome thread on MFK with sooooo many pics of dats, really awesome, I totally want a new guinea tiger - IMO the best looking.

The other day the Dr wanted to dicate a letter and I had to say "Hang on a minute, my Trademe auction is about to come up!" :lol: So, while he waited, he went and made me a cup of tea.

Caryl Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Mummy might be happier if she discovers fish are great pacifiers and often stop babies crying if you park them in front of the tank where they can see the inhabitants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
