For Randell; Petrochromis Macrognathus "Zambia"

[txfront]

I have a Petro Ikola that wont eat anything except chopped shrimp. I feed him the shrimp ever other day in hopes that he will come back to NLS at one point, but no luck so far.

How long you got them on this shrimp only diet?

[fshfrk]

well?

Yeah man I posted before I read all humpteen pages...

How are the fishes now?

I gave him 3 bags of the frozen algea scrubber turf and want to know if it worked. He's at church now so we have to wait for the sinner to get home.

I have had him on the diet for a couple of weeks, and he seems to be doing fine. I chop up a couple of shrimp every other day for my Trews, and they seem to be doing fine. (knock on wood) The Trews, gobies, Kasumbe, and the Simos get NLS thera every day, and the shrimp every other.

It was a no go John. I tried right when I got home but they didn't take to it. I'm try defrosting it more and it looks like hair algae and see how they react. Thanks again for the help on that.

In other news, the red dorsal is now dominated by the marco green male. Smooth transition really. It look place over 2 days but the green now has his rock pile. Also, the red dorsal is trying to start sh-it with the new 6'' trews. Trews is trying to put up a little fight but the red dorsal has home field advantage....for now. I foresee the trews taking over that battle too. But the trews is smaller then the marco green so hopefully he will remain king of the tank. I might take your advance and remove the other male green and keep it with my namansi. I'm let the order settle down a little more before I do that.

I did try some shrimp mix again and the macro greens are starting to take it. I think I saw like 4-5 eating it. The two not eating anything still didn't take it. I will try hair algae and krill to see what happens.

Even baby Jesus was a sinner. I have to go an ask for forgiveness.

I'm just going to kick you in the nutz.

I'll save this for last. I got other fishes in the tank and I don't think I can just feed the non-eaters shrimp. If it gets real bad, I'm thinking about putting them in this breed net I got and try to single feed them shrimp in there. I'm just scared to remove them from the tank to long and have the group turn on them. Also, Brian (AKA Russ) was feeding this WC longola male this for a while. The male ended passing away but I don't know (or remember) why.

Wish me luck, I'll keep you guys updated.

Keep trying the flakes. Miine took a couple of weeks before he finally took the the flakes aggressively.

if you pull the male green...I would def. be interested in getting him.

You got my word. If he goes anywhere outside my house you will be the first to know.

Yeah, I'm taking the mix food approach so hopefully they take to something.

I have kept tropheus that just refuse to eat until they die and I literally tried everything except blood worms.

I just want some fry from one of you.

Oh yeah thanks for calling me back egg roll.
