#3 if you feed at night he will sniff it out and if you have other nocturnal eaters put large amounts of bait in I tend to put larger foods in for mine ie king prawns for lungfish as the others struggle and use normal prawn an muscle for his tank mates.I recently purchased a nigerian spotted and was curious about handling.I understand they can survive through droughts but
#1 is it dangerous to remove the fish from the water?
#2 is it unwise to hold the fish?
#3 Also no handling related but is there any ideas on how to ensure he eats in a competitive tank?
