Thanks Jose, they are spectacular when adult

[@petersteinmeijer519]

I think they lost some weight during transport.

[@BillsCichlidRoom]

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 👍🏻

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 ?

[@BillsCichlidRoom]

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.

[@leeholdcroft6006]

So you think there nothing else to do , do you think I should try force feed it
