Monster Midas Input and Pics as Promised!!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Bump....Just wondering if I could get some input on about how much this guy would eat, or should eat. He loves freeze dried krill, eats some pellets. He likes me to hand feed him. Gave him a piece of market shrimp and he spit it out! Thanks for some more ideas!
 
Holly Molly, OMG he is the best looking Midas that I ever remember seeing :) Wow! I wish I had him ;) It makes it more enjoyable that your daughter loves him to. Ever once in a while keep us posted with pics of him.

Looks like you got the right idea. 3-5 times a day is ideal, but first you will need to figure out your fish. How much does he eat in a sitting, what does he like, and when is he actueally begging for food? Mine I just feed abit at a time and if they are asking for more or looking hard I toss some more in. Mine don't like shrimp either, but all the other fish do.
 
^^^Thank you! Sounds like mine and yours have the same attitude. I just thought he should eat soo much more for being such a large fish. I guess I'll just do a little trial and error until I figure out what works. Otherwise, I'll just keep feeding him when he begs. He is doing great, and is definantly a great conversation piece to whomever comes through the door!

at his size, I would just feed him once a day w/ a treat here and there.

BTW, he's Beauty! doesn't get much better than that.
