Clown knife feeding

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
You would think anchoves would be the popular choice. :D

Lolster...I like that list of fish in your signature. What do you keep those bad boys in? Some of those guys are beasts.
 
I feed mine every day. It eats cichlid pellets, cooked shrimp, or some live feeders(as a treat)

That seems like a lot of fish for a 135g. Darn good looking ck though. Can you post a pic of the severum with some point of reference? My severum is about 7-8 inches including his fins. MY ck is in a 160 with 2 smaller tankmates and a medium (6-7 in) pleco. He's only about 12-13 inches or so though.

i feed mine once a day.. B4 he only eats guppies however eats superworms right now :) I feed my monster fishes with either guppies, superworms, or dogfood.. I breed guppies to for feeding.. hehee on my 82gal tank i have 1 3" Tiger Oscar, 1 4" CK, 2 3" RBPacus, 2 2" Silver Scale, & 1 3" Janitor..

Can I still add another Tiger Oscar? I have right now on a 20gal tank but he's still around 1.5" and when I tried to transfer him in my 82gal tank the other Tiger Oscar was stalking him! immediately took him out after what I saw! hehe
 
I just recently bought a Clown knife from a local fish store and I can't get him to eat anything other than live feeders. I have tried crickets, mealworms, blood worms, various Cichlid Pellets, and frozen brine shrimp. Could someone please tell me what I can do to get my Clown Knife to eat other foods. He was fed only live fish at the fish store. He's in a 100 gallon with smaller catfish, a Pleco, and a Black Convict. He's 8 inches and I've had him for a couple weeks. I have had to break down a couple of times and give him some live guppies. Any information would be appreciated.

I posted the same thing in the Clown Knife Information thread; however, I did not get any responses so I will try my luck here.
I feed my 2 foot clown knife frozen silversides, earthworms (from a bait shop NOT from your yard), raw shrimp, clam strips, and squid. I have never really had much luck with him eating pellets.
