xinguinsis Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Hi All , Just wondering if everybody who got some of these are finding their growth rates sluggish for a potentialy big fish. Regards Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMK Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 its a bit weird with these fellas... some have hit over the +10cm mark and some are still 7-8cm at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.d.m Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 according to planet catfish these fellas only grow to 20cm , also they are 100% carnivorus , are they getting enough to eat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xinguinsis Posted January 21, 2005 Author Share Posted January 21, 2005 There getting one or two feeds a night of carnivore pellets one fish per tank .There so photophobic it's hard to get the food into them as much as i'd usually like.Tempreture has being lower than ideal over winter 22 to 23 which isn't going to help.

AMK Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 best to feed them at night... sneak up on them when the lights are out and you will find them feeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cichlid silly Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 dont expect too much activity from them as they tend to hide most of the time , but dont worry toomuch as they will head out for food, just mostly when your not around?when i first had mine i had the same prob?depends on your set-up aswell? what other fish have you got in the tank? you say your temp was low over winter?you shouldve had a heater.is the fish still around? hows it doing now? try some bloodworm,chopped prawns,and try even some spirulina tabs that have fish meal in the blend?
