For Randell; Petrochromis Macrognathus "Zambia"

[fshfrk]

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.

[geoff_tropheus]

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

How are the fishes now?

[fshfrk]

well?

[myjohnson]

How long you got them on this shrimp only diet?

[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.

Yup, project shrimp mix was a failure. Just fed them a cube this morning. The other tropheus and petros I had took to it fast. The new arrivals have no idea what it is. I'll have to try hair-algae/nori combo and/or go with the krill. I'll most likely try it all. Thanks for the tip Frank.

I take it the two not eating are not getting beat up.... Then
If the Shrimp Mix does not work, then try freezed dry Krill .. I had a problem with my Blue Giants...... I had about 7 petro breeders telling me what to do.
Freezed Dried krill works.... trust me on this one.

[myjohnson]

lol, thanks dude.

Still not out the woods yet.

I need to get all these fish eating.

I made some shrimp mix today so hopefully the two not eating will take to this stuff.

[madugo]

[myjohnson]

Thanks Geoff!

These boys can be monsters too.

I'm just hoping they don't kill each other off.

[geoff_tropheus]

damn I spend nearly 6 weeks away, and you all get some nice PEtros

[geoff_tropheus]

nice fishes!!

[myjohnson]

Feeding flakes.

Not soaking anything right now.

I start that tomorrow.

[tbui1178]

You doing flakes? Soaking flakes in metro?

[myjohnson]

Less movement among the fishes. 2 females not eating for sure. Could be them not liking the new foo. And just an over all feeling.

Two things cause bloat in new fish: 1) transport and 2) new food.

I hit my tanks with metro 80% of the time when I get new WC anyhow so this is not out of the ordinary for me.
