Ok I just bought this guy a week ago have yet to measure him, but in between 7-10". The pic is below. He is a great looking fish and is very active. But man is he skinny. My question is how do I fatted this guy up?
feed him lots is my suggestion. experiment with foods that he might like, bloodworms, sinking pellets, whatever. then just feed him lots of his favourite

He was orginal 80, but I talked the guy down to 50
He really does not like shrimp. But pellets is his thing. But could he survive off pellets alone.
