wee2 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 hey Guys, my little guy is growing since I have got him. Now he is 5inch and hope he can reach 8inch to be closed to the female one in the year. he is now staying with leopard cactus plec and a little Texas in a 300L (he occasionally snacked the 5 small texas swam cross the divider. expensive feeders :facepalm: ) what do you guys think??? Can he reach 8inch in one year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wee2 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 yes, he is hungry all the tiime. he swims hard out to the surface every morning when I come close to the tank. he takes 6 pellets and one tube of bloodworm for each meal twice a day.

David R Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 A bigger tank would help the growth but 300L is ok, will want bigger for breeding tho!! Clean warm water (26-7C) and good food (hikari + shrimp) had mine growing steadily. They're not fast like oscars or midas but will grow steadily under good conditions. He looks nice tho, quite miss my pair despite their shyness... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feed Hikari pellets and bloodworm regularly. only do shrimp occasionally. will feed shrimp more regular from now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Ze Germans sure know how to set up awesome public aquaria!! Will have to make a visit to Koln/Cologne some time. That festae is a brute, the oscars are awesome too (would love to see one of them jammed in a 2' tank....), and the honking great niger at the very end!!!!!
