thanks for the advice col
well pleased now, they just look so skinny that i get worried when they dont eat..lol
its easy with piranhas you just starve the little ****s untill they eat coz they can go for months without food
no worries ron , the channa can go for months also without food , i know pascal lost one inside one of his filters and it survived for 6 months with no food , only the scraps that the filter picked up and he said it was his best looking channa out of that group , but with channa even after 1 day they look skinny as hell , esp. micros and pleuros ,glad there back feeding again though
