update pics :)

everyone doing great, afer eating massivore pellets ?

the endli - i wonder did i get a short body? or is there such a thing? seems kinda stubby...

butterfly are pretty aggro, gotta watch my fingers when i go in that tank...

the leaf fish are growing super fast and i imagine ill be taking them and the bicher out of the 45g in 30 days or less

the lil palmas may have eating a rock or a bamboo shrimp or crab pellets... hes got a buldge and i had not fed him... everyone seems to be accounted for in that tank....

the ornate catfish seeming to be more outgoing now, coming out to eat more...

the weeksi, poly, and the moke are low key behind the scenes, the lap is outgoing and always checking stuff out.

cheers!

it’s eating mainly vibra bites from the auto feeder, i throw small cubes of shrimp in for the baby bichir with massivore and bloodworms- eats that too... seems to go for the shrimp...

ornate pic - think the pictus i has that was homeless is giving him a rough time...

Not being finicky but so don’t see any visible growth unlike yours. I’ve been feeding omega one shrimp pellets and I just started feeding them some kens spirliuna pellets along with some nls tiny pellets. I might start feeding them chunks of shrimp or tilapia as well but I’m not sure yet since they would have to be super tiny.

you see buddy up there? doesn’t have to be tiny ?

they will eat some pellet eventuality... they seem very good driven, even begging at the front of the tank....

i’d imagine and 30 days and they can go back with the others....

I want them to get the most nutrients out of whatever they eat so I make sure what they eat is small. They have been doing well on the omega one shrimp pellets but they’re a bit bigger than I like.

Make sure to post a size updated picture when you move them.
