In may 7, Im planning to buy some massivoirs in LA because we are going there. Before I will buy some, I wish to know whether these can make my 4" aba aba gow bigger and fatter fast. Will it? :naughty:

Short answer yes. Long answer, be careful to keep your water clean because what goes in must come out.

:iagree:

Great! I want a fat aba aba knife. If it is already used to eating bloodworms, are there any ways for it to like hikari?
 
Just alternate and/or mix them. At that size, I wouldn't try to starve it just yet. If it doesn't go after the pellets right away, don't get frustrated. You can also soak the pellets in bloodworm or try garlic.
 
Good idea! Can massivoirs also increase the speed of growth?
 
Any feeding will increase growth especially at that size. A variety of food is best so they don't get "stuck" on one type of food.
 
so you mean like mix. will bloodworms and massivoirs make the growth fast and fat?
 
A good feeding regimen and routine water changes will help it grow and fatten up. I know Beef Heart is suppose to increase growth, but I usually stay away from the animal protein as it clouds the water very quickly. Just keep a variety on hand like Bloodworms, Brineshrimp, cut pieces of Tilapia, cut pieces of Shrimp, Pellets, etc.

And yes...when I say mix, you could throw in Bloodworms and a Pellet or 2 just to see if it'll take it.
