The red stuff is live tubiflex worms for sturgeon ,auz lung & guppy to eat. The sturgeon, auz lung & the paddlefish i kept for over a weeks feed on guppy too.:)

Yes i hv to stock lots of guppys as paddle swims non stop 24hrs need alot of food due to their long paddle is wise to put more fishes in tank as they are not very skillful hunter .:)

I would use something other than the tubifex.

Shouldn't the paddelfish be getting plankton?

My country does hv plankton for sale the paddelfish are doing well with small guppy & tubiflex. I hv being doing this many years base on my personal experience i dont go by the book i use what i hv in my country to feed all my fishes.

In my country guppys like this are Export reject a coffee cup full of guppy wt no water is used by breeder to measure the amount of feeder guppy or mollies very cheap cost only abt USD$5 only.Live clean tubiflex is very cheap too a dollar u can get half a coffee cup.:)We dont hv feeder minnows in asia.;)

Can't say I didn't warn you.
Your going a sweet job.. I've seen some awesome people kill them Paddle Fish.. Don't change a thing.. Your fish keep them how you like.. Is the Tigrinus still in there?
Also i assume the water changes are often? With a them fish? Sweet setup man!!

Sweet fish. Don't listen to the nay-sayers, everyone will always have different opinions. My only question would be if these fish are staying together for life? The aro would need very different temps than the paddles and sturgeon.

Nice comm! I don't go by the book as well and just rely on my very own experience on fish keeping, but I don't have sturgeon or paddlefish though.
