Trimac

[Paulbearer]

I lost my little fire eel today in my 75 and after my bocourti cleaned out most of the loachs before u moved her to the 75. Now I'm debating on just getting a trimac and calling it quits in the 75. I'm just contemplating a wet pet and why not a trimac and I'm guessing they grow pretty fast. Any suggestions out there?

What did you feed him and how often? WC schedule?

And OP - a trimac sounds like an awesome wet pet

fed him tilapia filet, massivore (which was for my aro but he ate anyway) and hikari floating pellets. Usual WC.. 30% a week

I have a place I normally deal with here in florida to get one or two. I'm thinking of getting two to make sure to get a male.

Any Amphilophus would make a wonderful wet pet

Trimacs are fabulous, males or females

How early is it to tell the difference between male/female on them? He will be going into the 75 and I know 2 will be to much for it and I want to make sure I can grow them out to the size to tell the difference before I have to part with one.

You should be able to tell in less than a year, maybe less than 6 months, with lots of water changes, will help bring out colors, growth, and maturity.
