Should I be introducing other foods such as live blood worms, brine shrimp, glass worms or Tubifex worms?
< Never feed worms of any kind to Lake Malawi cichlids. The jewels can handle it but the others have a difficult time with these foods and it tends to bloat them up.> Another concern I have is that I think the LFS gets commission on all sales so maybe I’m an easy mark for a sale, being a new aquarist. After all, this is the same store who told me (and labeled) my Red Empress was a Strawberry Peacock. Your opinions and expertise would be greatly appreciated. Candi < Stores exist to make money.
