Alright its not quite as watching a big armartus chase down a feeder, but I thought I'd take some pics of feeding time in my 370g South American tank. I feed a mix of flake, crumble and sinking pellets for the cichlids and plecs (as well as floating pellets for the aro). Most of the fish are mid to bottom feeders so I place a short length of PVC pipe in the gap between the lids and load all the food in there so it can slowly sink out rather than floating and spreading out over the surface. It didn't take long for the uaru to figure it out, they now immediately associate the pipe with food and will get up inside it to try pull it out. Not sure how they'll get on in a few months once they get too big to fit in there!
And the obligatory full tank shot seems how someone is bound to ask for it, excuse the reflection of the curtain on the glass!
