Cracking fish when bigger , got a question for you cause you obviously know your stuff on cichlids , I have 6-7 inch jack dempsey had about a year and half, it not eaten for over 2 weeks I’ve tried Esha hexamita Esha ndx and given Epsom salt baths , fish looks fine apart from not eating and shying away from other fish when they eat , tried loads of different food booodworm cichlid pellets flake and fluval bug bites , sorry bother you , any ideas is this something you’ve seen before ?
Thanks Lee, I’ve seen it with timid fish. With adult fish they don’t eat as much when they have stopped growing or no breeding but 2 weeks does sound a lot. I only feed my adults 3-4 times a week.
Love it Bill cant wait to the progress on these
Just hope they don’t kill each other first lol
@@BillsCichlidRoom might lose a couple in the mayhem lol
Great video bill
Thanks Thomas, high hopes for these
There'll be trouble ahead! Hope you get some good pairs out of 'em Bill.
Hope so Stu
good video mate, good luck with them, take care, and hope fish take care also lol
Thanks Ian, you too
Pretty pattern on these fish
Thanks Jose, they are spectacular when adult
I think they lost some weight during transport.
Yes Peter, they need feeding up a bit
One of the species I wish I hadn’t moved on. Good luck in getting some pairs and looking forward for some future updates 👍🏻
@@benkavanagh168 thank you, hopefully they do well & don’t kill each other lol
