N.multifasciatus Questions

[Truck]

Hi all, I have a few questions about this species:

Do they jump? Because I need to sort a hood if they do.
How many shells per fish? (I thought 4)
What should I feed besides flake?


Thanks, Jack

Thanks, Jack

no, they dont jump,
shells per fish is a case of the more the better, but i used to work on the basis that 3 was enough before i covered the floor with them

feed
catfish pellets
any algae based food
frozen bloodworm
brine shrimp
frozen peas-deshelled

and then any food based on cichlids you can find, hikari do some, as do JBL.

Okay, thanks very much, not long now, just got to buy rock and sand, and then the fish.
