clown knife carnage?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I heard from my friend at my lfs that most of them will only eat live food...is that true? The only fish in my tank I feed live food is my needlefish gar. I can't really feed all of my fish live because my 2 8inch pacu eat anything and everything and never get full. So if I put a dozen rosie reds or goldies in they are gone within seconds. So if I could feed the CK frozen chunks of fish or shrimp, that would work best because I can put it directly in the CKs castle and the pacu don't fit in their so it might work. My CK is only about 5 inches, so would I have to chop the small shrimp and fish chunks up? Or will he just tear it apart? How small should I chop? What other beefy foods can I feed it besides shrimp and catfish chunks? Any raw seafood? Please give me some ideas because he hasn't ate in about a week. Do these ever eat dry pellets? What kind and brand? Sorry for all of the questions, but MFK knows everything!
 
It's the CK IMO where he ate the fish with gravel then the fish swam out of its mouth. But if you got more than 1 gar then it could be the gar because they sometiems fight over the same piece of food and rip it apart.
