I know that the LMB eats these as available in the wild. It can't be too far off the menu for Pbass. On a side note, there are way too many tree huggers out there. I deeply care for my fish. It can be a real obsession, but I do know where to draw the line. Bring on the mice! Besides, most mice in stores are bred to be food. When used in our aquariums, it puts on a hell of a show! Years ago I had a red line SH that occasionally would bite his food in half. Leaving the other half trying to swim. When watching the Pbass or the SH eat like this, it isn't to see how grizzly it can be but to admire the predatory nature of our fish. It's diversity to different food sources. It's only a secondary consequence that it is REALLY entertaining to watch. For this the tree huggers feel guilty and say it is wrong. It isn't wrong. We simply opt to watch nature at the top of the food chain instead of everything else that tries not to be eaten by them. It's all perspective and preference.
Nice thread. I will say the messiest feed I witnessed, was me dropping a softball sized salmon head in my Piranha tank. I think everyone could imagine the cloud of....
I fed my snakehead anything that moved. The pinkies always reminded me of the opening sequence in 2001 a Space odessy, with the womb shots all floating an what not.
She would eat everything though, allfish, even went through a tank divider to get at that Piranha. After multiply "escapes" I started keeping the water level about 6" down on my 65 gallon long, this was awosome for dropping in moths!! That fish would go cuckoo for em'
Not that I fed it to the Snakehead, but at the time I had a Goffins Cockatoo and that bird would sit, right in front of that tank and with a nut in ahnd mess/watch that fish for hours...and that Snakehead would do its best aggressive dancing trying to get tht bird...I think the bird was playing with her.
Thanks for reading.

my favourite feeder is feeder tigerbarbs cos they not only swim fast which make my fishes excercise more, it also helps to clean up the left over food in the tank....
