15" silver
fathead minnows,raw market shrimp de shelled and cut up
a dozen minnows,half a dozen one inch chunks of shrimp
every other day

:popcorn:
 
Silvers normally every other day...I feed mussels, market shrimp, wonder worms,.
Blacks, they fast one day per week...beyond the above mentioned fod, I add in a couple of crickets and meal worms.
 
black aro, fed daily except during the weekend. he is over 12" and gets once a day now. i feed him crickets, mealworms, worms, fish, mussel, shrimp, baby mice etc. feed him till he doesnt want no more.
 
10 pieces of 4" smelt daily.
 
I need to feed mine daily.

Or every second day atleast. It gets very jumpy and aggravated otherwise.
 
Pellets and krill daily with one day of fasting....
 
i feed once, then fast for 2 days, so i basically feed twice a week. they eat about 1/2lb of shrimp and 1/4lb of smelt per feeding.
