    I’m from Australia and you guys from the states are seriously lucky and privileged to have access to a lot of these species.

    • @themadaquarist
      @themadaquarist  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you very much. Amazing fish albeit very very slow growing. Good clean water with lots of water changes. They are an obligate sand sifting omnivore spa varied low fat diet will be ideal. Let them
      Sift through the sand . They are a smaller species reaching a maximum of about 9”

    What is a good commercial food for Central America cichlids?

    • @themadaquarist
      @themadaquarist  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not an easy question to answer as not on food would meet the needs of the vast diversity of Central American species. Variety would be key, low fat foods.

    • @themadaquarist
      @themadaquarist  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This may offer some guidance on selecting foods for your cichlids. This was filmed years ago with Dan. Perhaps not the best video but the content is solid.
