Monster Fish Keeper By Accident

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
there in a 540 g at the min till my plants in my 8x8x2 tank is better established then that will be there home for the rest of there life. mine went through that patch of trying to hide all the time. ronnie is the bigger of the 2 and is always eating. there very inquisitive fish and very clever. mine will swim right up to me and brush past my hands when i clean the tank.the pellets are a good idea i got mine on them within days. try and stay away from feeders as you never know if there unwell.
 
Wow 540g Wow 8x8x2
I was hoping to find a 150g or 200g.
What pellellets? Like the ones for cichlids? Floating, Nonfloating? How many for a 5" Clown and how often? What time of day is best.
I raise my own feeder guppies in perfict water conditions and cull anything that does not look right in any way.
I also raise crickets and keep them clean and nutritiously well feed.
My other live food of choise is walmart night crawlers that I keep out in my beer fridge. Great little protein snacks. I never get feeders at LPS. I know that is like playing Russian roulette with you fishes life. :grinno:
:headbang2Thanks again, Jay
 
just feed what ever they can eat in a few min and take out what they dont eat. thats the way i do it. some days they eat more then others .

yes like the ones for cichlids and floating is fine as they are surface and mid water hunters in the wild


Cool! That in the type i just bought and got home with, so will be giving them a try at this feeding time.
Any tricks to getting them to go for them?

nice pics!
If you have a good supply of live just keep feeding em live. Variety is always good though. Try Arowana Sticks, they float and are very meaty. Also market shrimp with the shells/tail off. The night crawlers are great!
