I ordered 2 x 5cm Kelberi Peacock Bass from Sims Tropical in UK and added a 3rd Kelberi to my order, which wasn't sent by mistake. They sent me 2 more (4 total), so I got a free one. It means I have one more mouth to feed than I planned, but they are all eating frozen bloodworm & live brineshrimp & live Mysis to date. The first 2 been in 5x2x2 since Tuesday this week and 2nd two since Thursday. I added x4 Silver Dollars to give the Kelberi some company and confidence to swim and competition for eating food. Trying to avoid feeders, but it may be inevitable. But I did setup my first Minnow tank, so if they breed = free food. You're fish are looking very happy.
That's lucky mate, four together will look gorgeous! I was worried I would have to live feed my kelberi's when they was small but having fish like the silver dollars helped so much as when they was nailing the bloodworm, the bass started to worry they was missing out so the silver dollars and other fish where a god send as they encouraged a feeding frenzy! Which meant it wasn't long before the bass was taking dry foods too, so I hope it's similar for you mate! You have very nice taste in fish and thankyou for watching as always!
All your fish are really beautiful!❤
