Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hi,
I recently purchased two Electric Blue Acaras. They are both about an inch long so they are still fairly young. I have been having difficulties though getting them to eat. Whatever I try and feed them they attack it quickly, swallow it, and then spit it out about 5-10 seconds later. I have tried to feed them Omega One cichlid food, frozen blood worms/mysis shrimp/ cichlid blend, and another Omega One flake food and the spit out all of it.
The tank is a 30 Gallon well established, heavily planted, and I do a 40% w/c every other day. Nitrates, Nitrites, and Ammonia is all at zero PPM. Lastly, the two cichlids are the only fish in the tank.
Any advise will be appreciated!
Chris
