Elopichthys Bambusa - Yellow Cheek Carp

[kendragon]

Sweet! Thank you, Ken.
- What's their diet lately and their size?
- Are they occasional jumpers?
- What will it take for them to display more prominent yellow in cheek and fins?

They are strictly on pellets.
Never ever seen them jump.
San Diego weather is still pretty cool. I believe their colors are dependent on the water temp. We'll see.

3 feet looks awesome.

Thanks.
This Summer I gave them some smelt which gave them some size. Feeding aggression also increased a bit.

Why would you say smelt made a difference and vs what were you giving them before, just pellets?
