giant snakehead newbie...help!!

[woodyoz]

yeah i found that out in the forum...and i read somewhere that weather loaches are risky food for snakeheads....anyone tried feeding snakeheads with loaches before?

 

[woodyoz]

hey...just wanted to knw if overfeeding my snakehead will kill it? are they dumb like goldfish to eat as much as we give to them?
how much should i feed them and how regular?

 

[channarox]

yes.
but you wont overfeed them in one meal.
if you constantly overfeed theyll get fat and die.

i find 1 swallowable fish a day is plenty, maybe a second one for one for my favourite one! i like to see a nice little bump in their bellies.

 

[woodyoz]

thx...
i just put in two loaches and,as always,the fatter one ate them both befo the other one would get to it....then i put in another for the think SH...the fatty ate it again ...
im worried the other one does not die of starvation lol

 

[channarox]

just feed til their stomachs are bulging only a bit.
however,with many SHs together,thats not really possible since i have to feed loads before the weaker ones get to eat.

 

[Gaz_ham]

if they get hungry enough they will get to the food! and if it dont, what kind of micro is it anyway

 

[channarox]

a cowardly micro.

 

[woodyoz]

a bullied one

Try to get them on dead food as its way cheaper/safer & ya can make sure the lil gets soem then.
Mine eats fd krill.
