Nope. The ornate was at least 16". The convict was mid sized female. I wasn't actually using them as feeders. I have 3 females in there and I thought they were too big/fast for any of my fish to catch. I Keep the convicts in there to distract the Oscar. I guess she just caught it and it was definitely too big for her to swallow.. It was still sticking out of her mouth when we took her out. I am so sad I could totally cry!!!!!!

dont blame the convict
 
Nah, I still like convicts... but I LOVE my bichirs.
 
oh sorry about that, i must have misinterpreted wrong, cuz the thread read as convicts making bad feeders. anyway, sorry about your ornate, they are real beauts. :(

damn, a 17" ornate. i'd cry.

I did... :cry:

The good news is that Big Al's is going to order me another one. I'll have to grow it out but its worth it. I dont really see them much around here so hopefully by Wednesday I'll have a new "baby".

But I will NEVER use convicts for feeders again. I gotta learn how to breed goldfish.
 
id say switch the bichir to krill... its a bit easier...


K Story time...

So i work at a pet store.....
We had ornate bichirs and were being displayed right next to the guppies

| Male guppies| Female guppies| Ornate Bichirs (about 4")|

| Male guppies| 1 Ornate jumped+ate all the females| Ornate Bichirs (about 4")|

|same Ornate jumped+ate all the Males| no more females | Ornate Bichirs (about 4")|



Mr.McJumpy took out all the guppies within a month and grew to a plump 6 inches :headbang2
