did you ever figure out a good feeding schedule? If you don't mind me asking, what pellets are you feeding Mr. T? You must go through a lot...
congrats on #100

Hello DammitKhoa, I'm feeding him 'generic' pellets. He also has a bunch of feeders around him, but seems they are too fast for him or he is content with the pellets and doesn't make a serious effort.
He gets half a cup 3x a day. Pretty much used to his feeding schedule, knows when it's coming and comes over for the first "Snap"...
Do want to get some variety in with fresh prawns or fish, but for now he's good...Bought a 25kg bag of the pellets, that will last some time and it's only 10 USD, so not breaking the bank at all.

Another update...Finally started digging for the pond.
To understand below steps, keep in mind that Mr.T's current pond stands in the middle of his new home.
I've done that for reason that transferring him will need nothing but gravity and water, having him swim to the deeper part of the new pond by just dropping the liner.
First part completed, now need to wait for concrete wall to be put up at the front.
Once that's done, get the liner and roll that out from left side till the foot of the old pond.
Then pump out water from the old one, break down the sandbag side and drop the old liner over the new liner.
Fill up the new pond and take the last few sandbags away to create an opening for Mr. T to get to the new part that's finished.
Once done, build up a sand bag wall to keep the liner and water in place for the time being and then remove the old pond and dig out the rest of the new one.
That will be another couple of weeks to finish..Mean time, Mr. T. is curious, happy and looking good.
Cheers,
Luc

I am quite sure you gonna like this video.
Feeding Mr. T. Just to show how easy he is, simply amazing.
House keeper teases him, and he simply waits, looks, then very carefully grabs the prawn and goes around, then comes back and same.
You see the lady putting her hand in the water, somewhere halfway the vido, Mr. T. Is right below there, getting some strokes over his head.
Enjoy..

Mr. T. is ok. Healthy and happy, likes to be touched and get strokes over his head.
Pond progressing now, going to be a cool big house for him.

I think by now, given that Mr.T is healthy, happy and well on his way to move to his new house, I'm going to close this thread and continue on the 'Arapaima Pond Build' thread.
Too many open threads does not serve any purpose, will keep updates coming on Mr.T's general well being over there. Makes for less work updating everything.
Thanks all for the many stimulating and positive comments here, hope to see you at the pond construction thread soon.
