I do feed mine mussels, prawns and earth worms, but I feed pellets as there main diet. I also keep the ones in my house in a unheated aquarium.
Saying that my home is always warm, even in the UK winter time. Missis don't like the cold, and she doesn't pay the fuel bills lol

So what temp is your house usually at? Just regular room temp of 21 degrees celcius?

Funny, I was just watching Skip’s video about your pair. I’ve raised a few sub-adults with massivore delite without worrying about bloat. You have a great looking pair!

Absolutely beautiful fish! I've always loved andy woods haitiensis but I've never pulled the trigger on getting 9ne because it seems general consensus is they are hard to keep alive!
Guess not?

Thanks. I haven't had problems raising these fish due to sensitivity issues, the one's I loose are usually from aggression. I have raised tanks upon tanks of these fry and never had any bloat issues.

Yea I've seen video of you feeding earthworms, my Haitians also stay at room temperature which in summer is low 70s and high 70s for winter, never any bloat issues. These fish have never been kept in 80 degree water and I doubt I will ever keep these fish at temps that high. I know everyone loved jcb but Brutus was the reason I had to get back into Haitians.
