Hello, 2 weeks ago, I have got a Blue Malau FH, about 10cm ish.
It is currently living with an 18~20cm long Bichir Senegal.
The FH showed some aggression towards the Bichir at the start but getting less and less.
I am feeding Hikari Cichlid gold and recently feeding some Grand Sumo Red as well.
I am feeding 10~15 pellet around 8am, 8~10 pellets around 2pm and 10~15 pellets around 8pm every day plus 2-3 freeze dried baby shrimp from tetra twice or three times a week. (Somehow the FH hates frozen foods, never tried raw).
However, my FH keeps on stealing Bichir's Hikari Sinking Carnivore pallets. Sometimes the FH eats than spits the food into pieces continuously and sometimes the FH just eats it.
I have tried to Feed Bichir's food first and lure my FH with its food, however, the Bichir takes soooo longer to finish its food successfully before I finish feeding my FH.
So I was wondering if continuous feeding of Bichir's food will harm the FH and whether I am feeding too less for my FH.
Also, Is there any recommendation for FH food for blue shiny colouration as mine isn't a red based FH (I have ordered XO Starry and Humpy Head).
Additionally,
If I am planning to add in 3-4 Electric blue jack dempsey with a separation for breeding (Only if my FH is Female), would a 1000L tank be enough or would be better to get a 1500-2000L tank?
Cheers
