usually whatever is cheap at my local grocery store. I used to get small whole fish (perch, catfish, tilapia) for the shoal (if too big I'll cut to smaller portion) and feed the left over to my rhom. I always keep some smelt in the freezer just in case I didn't have time to get some fresh fish for them.
right now my baby serra is feeding on small tetras.

DIY fish food.
Used a food processor and chopped up tilapia, scallops, shrimp, and a few carrots into mush and put it in a tray and bound it with gelatin. Then cut into squares and froze in plastice bags. Thaw a peice or 2 whenever i feed them.

i feed hikari cichlid bio-gold, and smelts. I sometimes will feed them beefheart or tilapia, but rarely it seems to make more of a mess than smelt or pellets.
Will have some new pics probably by the weekend just did a water change so there a little stressed now but should be showing their true colours soon.jp80911;5011465; said:
I'd say for year old pygo's my reds still have some nice reds on their bellies and i'm pretty sure the carrots are helping.
