My normal feeding routine is 2 or 3 days fasting between feedings but i wanted to bulk these two up but not feed the tank, plus dark congi is a super slow eater compared to the endlis that are like sharks.

At first they were petrified of the tongs but now they perk up as soon as they see them. The koloton reacts to them even before they are in the tank.

Might have to change it to 1080p

DMD123 DMD123 does the koloton remind you of anyone ?
 
The congicus will learn to eat fast eventually! It's so used to my tank. Didn't really have any competition for food plus I fed it in the dark!

Man you guys baby your poly's. If you don't look for food you won't eat.
Tell me about it, i just dump the food in the tank and if your slow then wait two more days to eat again, lolz.

J jaws7777 imagine doing that to 16 polys, one tilapia at a time, how many minutes you think before you can feed them all?

I dont do it for all my polys lol....just wanted to feed these two every day for a week or so then they'll be on the regular schedule, plus i have fun messing with the koloton.
 
I think i can get the koloton to hand feed.

Yeah i know she'll be fine just wanted to get a head start on the reverse jenny craig program lol the koloton was on the skinny side. I hate the look of skinny polys

Forreals. That was me before. Dump in a bunch of food. IF they don't eat fast enough, the aros, gars, knifefish,datnoid come in and swoop the food. They learn after a few days. I used to be consistent with feeding at the same time of the day so whenever I turn off the main lights. bichirs would know its feeding time and they start swimming around in search for food before I even drop the food.
