I have one, and you can't have it.

Nice fattening up of the skinny guy! Don't overfeed him though.

i let him go after what he can in about 2-3mins, once a day...removing the excess

i hope thats not too much

of course, planned on slowing down once he gets a little bigger

Yours is a cute little ham!

Geez - I remember when my fahaka, Beaker, was that big. I used to have to find the smallest piece of krill I could in the block and even then break it into pieces for him to eat. Now, he's the worst begger on the planet (worse than any dog or cat I've ever had) and can pack it in like no other. Yesterday, for example, he put down four red claw crabs and was still looking for more.

I guess that story only makes sense if you know that I've only had him for 7 months. Needless to say he's growing very quickly all alone in his 135G.

Enjoy yours! They're way too much fun.
