I'm not sure about caring for them, but from the research i did before i got mine, u need to be very careful when indroducing/acclimatizing them to a new tank.

Tom

They can be difficult to keep at times. Like a lot of other cichlids, you should add them when the tank is established. As for the special stuff, you need sinking food for them to eat since they rarely come to the surface.

i dont find mine hard to keep she is very easy to keep always first to the food and never starts any fights

Thanks everyone! I'll try and do some further research on them and when I get mine I'll acclimate them carefully to the water and buy some sinking food. I also might make some of my own food for them to eat.

I know that I have made frozen brine shrimp/bloodworm cubes. I just took frozen BS and frozen BW and thawed it added a little more water and then poured it into the BW plastic conatiner and refroze it. The fish love it. It is easier then thawing some BS and thawing some BW and feeding it to them at the same time when I just throw in a cube of the mix and they go nuts.

Or someone here showed how to make veggie balls with cut-up veggies and mushed it all together to make little balls and then dropped it in the tank for the algae eaters and bottom feeders.

Right, from a leprechauns you became a cannibal . What next?

Tom

Who says leperchauns aren't cannibals to begin with?
Tom

Sabi

If leperchauns are part of the fairy family then they are supposed to be good. Cannibals are bad.

Howeyg

depends what type of cannibal you are
