Bad quality, but this fish NEVER stops moving. He's full of catfish.

I will post pics of mine when he comes out tomorrow, but I want to know if when you post you can put like your waters pH and what you feed it and such, because I have gotten some mixed info on this particular knife's needs.

Oh and mine eats frozen beefheart, frozen bloodworms, and freeze dried tubifex. pH is about 8 and water is moderately hard (pH of my tap is 8.8; 300 hardness and alkalinity so i put some driftwood in it to try and buffer it)

pH is 6.8, I feed mine earthworms, cut up shrimp, cut up catfish, and occasionally random native insects (not poisonous, obviously).
