    i feed Tetra cichlid xl as staple 6 times a week
    hakari bio gold and tetra arowanna 3 times each a week
    and shrimp meet twice week
    also do 2 30% water changes a week, more water i change the faster and better the growth i find
    hope that helps

    Thanks again top dog and rednox...we dont get hikari here and if we do its at a ridiculous price...at the moment my dad feeds them some cichlid pellets will get the name and dried fish ..I try and do atleast 50 percent water changes twice a week or every other week.... most of my fish have grown quite nice besides my green terrors...think their growth is stunned or something..I will try n get some brine shrimp as well. .thanks guy's :hatsoff:
