Re: Petrochromis sp Blue Giant

But during water changes, they turn powder blue to almost white.

That's a albino BG lol!!

They must haven't get use to large wc yet.

[SunnyHouTX]

Probably not, but they'll have to deal with it somehow

Update:

Started treating with Tetra Parasite Guard yesterday, which is a very broad spectrum anti parasitic that also targets anchor worms. Even after one day, there's a slight improvement. All the BG are eating freeze dried krill but a couple still shy away from flake food still. I can't wait to see the improvement level after 3 weeks of this stuff.

A couple of pics:







I can say that the Moshi is definitely taking advantage of the situation, I've never seen him this "rotund"

Re: Petrochromis sp Blue Giant

Thanks man, I want the BG too look like that Moshi very soon lol. I feed them about a bag of flakes every week, plus krill, New Era, and shrimp.

* Sunny feeds a pound of raw shrimp and half a pound of kens flakes and walks out of the room, moments later he comes back in and sees this.

Re: Petrochromis sp Blue Giant

Thanks Rene. Would not be possible without you getting them!

[thecichlidsplace]

glad I could help. Now breed'em or will have to fry them for dinner. I heard they taste very nices with rice. (lmao).
How much money do you spend on food (raw shrimp). checkout the site I sent you if you're feedning them that much flake food

Re: Petrochromis sp Blue Giant

I will Rene. Shrimp is cheap down here, around $5 - $8 per lb. I'm gonna reduce the amount of flakes I feed as they eat more pellets.
