i did a mistake

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
When it is said "fits in the mouth", it is meant girth-wise.

There is even such a thing as gradual swallowing and digestion, wherein the prey is swallowed partially length-wise, because it does not fit entirely in the stomach (but fits in the mouth and throat girth-wise), then digested, space in the stomach is freed, it is swallowed some more, and so on.

Watch out that the clarias' spines do not puncture paroon's stomach. It happens sometimes, though often it is inconsequential anyway.

If you feed now, the full paroon will hardly eat anything. Waiting is actually a better idea to lessen the bio-load on your filter.
 
sorry i haven't understand what you are talking about my english isn't that good !! but i will wait anyway
 
Ok. You would not try to stuff a foot-long subway sandwich in your mouth starting from the middle, you'd take it from one end. So would a fish.

That may be to seize the prey but the important thing here is swallowing, let's remember that. A predator fish (that swallows prey whole, not devours it) will "rearrange" the prey so that it can swallow it with the least difficulty.

We said that if a tankmate fits in the paroon's mouth, it will be EATEN not BITEN.
 
It grabs with mouth in any position, turn prey to head forward position and start swallowing :) it does not bite but grab and doesnt let the prey swimm away :)
