Black, white and red frozen mosquitolarvea. I never understood why people feed beef.

Wow,...how did you get one of those? Do they sell them at LFSes?

 

[Edvet]

one of those

which?

 

[faizal]

black, white & red frozen mosquito larvae,...

 

[Edvet]

yeah LFS here in the Nehterlands sell them all, sometimes even live ones. Red mosquito larvae are called bloodworms in the rest of the world i think.

Red ones are easiest to feed, black ones have the best nutritional value, white ones float so are good for topdwellers. Sometimes i give cyclops or bosmiden, it's small food, so usually if i have small fish. Daphnia and artemia i sometimes give just to give something different.
In general i prefer 500 gram packaging over the blisters. Blisters have more damaged foodpieces so give more mess in the water. When i had discus and larger cichlids i gave mysis a lot. The exoskeletons are good for the intestines. All these foods are available frozen. (white, red, daphnia and tubifex often alive too)

Love the piece of wood on the right. A nice microsorum narrow would look stunning placed where the wood arches. It would create a nice sense of depth from the background plants.

Lovely ed.

Hi all,

Now i only need a suitable dwarfcichlid and i am good.

What are you going to get?

cheers Darrel

Strangely enough i never had much succes with apisto's in that tank, Always thought it might be to deep.
Was thinking about some Laetacara thayeri, though according to the LFS owner they are a royal pain in the b*tt, very bulying. I've had several dicrossus spp in there (macualatus and filamentosus).
