I'd watch the pellets....make sure they are not too hard. Altos' jaws don't like them too much and they can end up with rhino.

i forgot to say i feed them nls 1mm pellets
i know hard pellets will dislocate their jaw, but even my small (3cm) calvus eat these and i dont have any rhinos.
i find that these pellets go soft pretty quickly when put into the water so theyre pretty soft when the calvus eat them
