IgnatzMcJockel I dont worry about it. They eat whole fish in the wild and the bones in smelt are pretty much non existent.

Yeah my grandfather used to catch them and we'd just clean them cut off the heads fry them and eat them whole. Didn't bother us at all.

Yeah they were really good. Wish he was still around. He lived off the land as much as possible, definitely an outdoors man. Fresh salmon, venison, smelt. But when I was old enough to drink and went to visit he always wanted to go to the local bar for a beer and a burger. I wanted what he ate daily....lol. Different worlds.

Looks like i had nothing to worry about feeding whole fish...
Since yesterday my female EBA ist gone without a trace (and one of my polys has a big belly) ?

I think, even if this these days are over, these are precious memories no one can take you

Thats as far as i am at the moment...but i hope to get as far like this:

but i have a little doubt, becaus my aequidens are veeery greedy on every food that gets in the water...especially near the surface. So if i hould the shrimp at the surface, it's gone before the poly could even reckognize it...

That is so dope

I know it has been a while... but finally i did it

Let me itroduce "Blue", a WC P. Retropinnis.

I had the first success in handfeeding her the second day after i got her.
Now, about two weeks later it is working really great ?

Kelly_Aquatics i'm now using smelt, too ?

Blue is actually a wild caught P. polli. Not retropinnis.
