i finally found my firemouths today. i got 4 of them (i'll only be keeping one pair) and they are pretty freaking cool.
as my post states, i am looking for a good varied diet for them. i would like to get them breeding once i get a pair.
for now they are getting flake food but before i end up spending a bunch of money or just listening to the fish store people i'd ask. i am going to get some pellets. i only ever buy the hikari cichid gold.
i did some searching and came up almost more confused and some of the food like nls is pretty expensive.
i know they aren't very picky but i was wondering if there are better types of frozen/live food for FMs or if FMs have any special nutritional requirements. which ones are more treats and how often do you feed treats?
i did find that i shouldn't feed frozen blood worms because of a parasite but also find conflicting info. i feed them too my dwarf frog and other fish
next question is about feeding fresh veg to supplement. found some info that most anything is okay but also other conflicting info. i've never fed fish that way but curious.
