very nice. jus wondering since we on the rock. pretty harsh for shippin 8 footers..

TTT Yeah, that seemed like the cheapest, and easiest option for a big tank.

Anybody else with info on the clown knife
 
im in the process of changing a ck from feeders to pellets. im on week two and he tried taking market shrimp but he spit it. im going to feed massivore pellets tonight with the lights off, hope it works.

Let me know how it works out
 
wiht all the mosnters i have, i find the ck and RCK easiest to get onto massivore and sinking carnivores

its easy
starve it a little
feed from small, 10 to 15 cms, dont feed live food AT ALL
start offering shrimp or sinking hikari carnivore pellets straight away

both mine love massivore!
 
I alsways start them in a tank with angels, discus, silver dollars, or tin foil barbs (any pellet eating fish that can hold its own). The feeding response from the other fish will stimulate them to eat as well. the competition usually speeds things up as well. This has never failed me. I do the same for my baby arowanas.
