Monster Fish: are they worth the effort?

[twk1]

Yeah, i also say cut down the feeding to once a day, How big is your tank anyways? How many fishes you got in there?

Oh, and Yeah... THEY ARE WORTH THE EFFORT!!! (especially when you raised them from when they were still juveniles!!)

 

[marshy]

Totally worth the Effort!

Small monsters you may have to feed more regularly... but when large.. every alternate days is ok.

I feed my Dats every 3 days...except for the aro which is everyday...

my tank is 150liters , i have 2 internal fliters that together pump 4800 liters/hrs ;

i keep one fish. channa micropeltes. it's already past the juvenile stage, and it's just starting it's adu;t phase.. i think... it has lost all red in the til, so i think thats a sign of adulthood.

i;m gunna cut down feeding.

thanks for the feedback everyone.

Stick a powerhead in there pointing at the bottom, aiming at the filter intake. That is what I do, did not see any crap from my fish in months, at least when it is not attached to them.
