I mean i have a 125 with some dempseys and polyps and a convict, just didnt know if i could put the GT in there as well
Is it a 55gal or a 125gal?
 
He'll eat when he's hungry. Try to use pellets that drift awhile so he gets multiple chances to try and get them. GT's are very stupid and have problems getting food into their mouths. They need 'special' care while feeding.

Knifegill, normally I have respect for your opinions but I have to say that's the most ignorant comment I've ever heard you make. Just because you got a sick GT that shrank and died, that doesn't mean every GT needs specail care like that one. :screwy:
 
Okay, okay. I'll stop being so anti-GT. Perhaps if I owned a good one for awhile I would have a better picture of the species. There is a free 3"er in the next town over, but 3" is still in the trouble stage so I'm passing for now.

i find there both pretty easy to feed but the Oscar is way easier! When feeding time comes around the Oscar will sit in one spot and wait for me to feed him. where as the Green terror shoots around all over the place. Once, i feed the Oscar he will follow my hand around waiting for more food to drop. But the GT will take off into the back of the tank once he gets a pellet. its as if the GT is a schizophrenic, and the Oscar is the perfect example of an intelligent fish by comparison. that's my 2 cents.
