  • Feeding large petros

    What is the consensus on feeding larger petros or trophs?? I currently feed mine 1mm NLS and veg flakes and they eat it pretty aggressively, but I want my larger fish to eat bigger foods. Should I just up it to the 3mm size??

    I feed mine the 3mm size and mix in some 1mm. It is mostly 3mm though. Becareful if you got Trophs in there, they have a tendency to overeat

      Peter,

      From time to time I feed my adult tropheus and petros 3mm NLS with no problems. I even give the Chimbas I got from you 3mm pellets.

        I picked up some 3mm and my Trophs rip through the stuff like it's nothing.

        I fed my Petro shrimp mix though

            I have both sizes in NLS and Dainichi and just mix them all together and feed sparingly.

            Size is not a problem. They love it all

              +1, feed this to mine and he puts back on a lot of size.

                      I changed mine up quite a bit compared to the older ingredients. But yeah its all real similar.
