Awesome! Runts! Why aren't we doing this with more species of fish? I want mini Gar and Bowfin.
Good luck with them and be sure to keep us posted on growth.

They are doing well, I have four 8" robust aggressive feeding paddlefish. I am considering selling up to four of them, local pick up only, $75 each, you must have a really big tank, 125 is minimum tank size...
Awesome! Hey one question. Do they need to be constantly swimming to get oxygen like sharks?
Thank You
Thank You

While they never stop swimming they do seem to be able to pump water over their gills.
Ok guys! Big opportunity for anyone who has a desire for paddlefish! The guy i got mine from has some available for shipping. This is a very unusual opportunity, he has several "dinks" left over out of his usual crop of fish and is going to sell them. They have 3 to 5 inch dinks, $30 dollars each I'm not sure what shipping will be but he is willing to ship them second day. As you can see from this thread they are relatively easy to keep if you have a large aquarium. PM me for pertinent info if you want one of these fish.

This is a common misconception. All fish, however poorly they do it, can pump h2o over their gills.
GL with the sale on these guys...I had a breeder that wanted to send me $10 for the cost of airline shipping ($70ish)
Most in the AG biz are used to pellets, but will do better if supplemented with any small worms you can squirt right in front of their gaping mouths.
