Shocking. I witness 1st feeding of the smaller firewood in 10 months, since July 2025. Today is May 2026. The bigger one I've not caught eating yet.

The smaller one continues to feed. I saw the bigger one take at least 1 fish a week ago, maybe 2 fish. It didn't feed this feeding, although did come to check it out:

PitSmok: Looking good Vic, all active and healthy. Incredible turnover for the fire woods, they are the most active in this video.

Fish-Story: Right, thank you, but I still have no idea why they fasted 10 months, probably never will...

PitSmok: Really difficult to say, might be the tank mates in the old one. And eventually in this tank they got over it and are not bothered by any one. They thriving in this tank.

Fish-Story:
They took only a week or two on going from 240 to 1800.
Then they took a month or two fast on going from 1800 to 4500.
On going from 4500 to 25,000 they took 10-11 months!
