severum food

[xamdarb]

What should i feed my severum i have tryed floating large cichlid pellets small sinking ones and staple flakes he wont eat any of them the closest he comes is that he will chew up the large pellets and spit them out?

I feed mine chopped up lettuce, flake, freeze-dried krill, and freeze-dried bloodworms.

Have you just recently got this severum?, as he may not be eating due to the stress of moving.


most severums are not fussy eaters and will eat almost anything, but as jacob said try bloodworm, but if the fish is hungry it should eat falke or pellets

My Severums I kept years ago loved to eat plants. I also gave them veggie sticks at the time made by Tetra.

They will easily eat freeze dried krill and mine also loved the Hikari Cichlid staple and the gold.

New Life Spectrum is probably one of the best foods out there today for cichlilds.
