Tenho uma dúvida...............................................
Passo a citar: "When hunting, Alto. calvus will cruise along the substrate looking for prey. Once a target has been identified, this fish will keep its eye locked on the prey, but raises its body upwards and then strikes. This hunting technique is similar to Dimidiochromis compressiceps, which is another laterally compressed predator.
In the aquarium, they can be given any type of live or frozen food (except beef heart or any other food containing mammalian products). Live food is always greedily consumed. Flake food is accepted, but is usually insufficient alone to bring a female into breeding condition."
"Nutrition - I do not recommend feeding things such as "feeders" that you can get from your local fish store. If you insist on feeding these, I recommend breeding guppies or something along that line. The reason that I do not recommend buying feeders from anywhere is the risk of contaminating your tank with parasites. There are theories that feeding live food will spark the eating of their own fry, however this is not something that I have experimented with. Once calvus are well adjusted they readily eat most flake foods such as brine shrimp flake. There are, however, many foods that they will benefit from. I feed brine shrimp flake at least once a day and usually frozen brine shrimp. I give them occasional blood worms, mysis shrimp, and I try to give them live brine shrimp about twice a month. I usually feed their fry frozen baby brine shrimp, however if you have the time to hatch your own that would be most beneficial."

Desculpa Oblivion mas alguem parece tar errado e não me parece que seja o tipo que escreveu estes artigos no cichlid-forum.
P.S.- o alimento preferido do meu Calvus é sem dúvida carninha.......
