i know ive said in the past how utterly boring i think exodons are based on youtube videos of them eating inanimate objects like frozen foods, bread, meats. and even more boring vids showing them stripping the scales from a guppy but leaving the guppy...

but this got me thinking (and hoping). do Exodon (bucktooth tetra) eat crickets?? as in the whole cricket? cause if they do then THAT would do it for me to want to purchase a shoal. to watch them do to a cricket what they have done to that guppy only have the cricket disappear would win me over to this monster fish...

one question though, why are they so expencive?!?!
they sell for $8.99 each at petland!!!
 
I'm sure they do just about every fish i've owned eats or tries to eat crickets from tetras to cichlids all the way to bichirs crickets and other small insects have all ways been part of fishes diet's

So yes i'm 99.999999% sure they will
 
I would suppose it would depend on what size cricket!

why would it depend on the size of the cricket? don't exodons rip matter off piece by piece?
i may have answered my own question in this case LOL... if a swarm of guppies always eat the bread i throw into the pond that is 500% bigger than each of them...
 
but id still like to know from some1 who has owned exodons and has fed them a cricket :)
 
Ohhh i wasn't sure what you ment i can't say for sure that they would rip it apart but i can say that they would eat it

how would they eat it without ripping it apart? :(

or do you just mean they pointlessly nibble it like any other tetra and let it rott in the tank...:irked:
 
crickets ahve a shell that i dont think the little exodons would be able to bite through im shure they would all try very hard to eat and rip it appart but i think they are just too small unless you had real small crickets
 
yes they can.
sometimes though,the crickets fast enough to swim away and get out of the tank.....
ive done it. ;)

price depends on your location i guess...here theyre about the same price.
