they dont grow very fast, I have an albino that has only grown maybe 1-2 inches in a year

 

[synoguy]

[Deep Blue Sea]

i cant see other post :S

 

[Deep Blue Sea]

what?

 

[synoguy]

its illegal to use feeder fish here in the UK. Do you think a young sen about 3 inches would eat guppies?

 

[Deep Blue Sea]

yeah sure that would probably work but theyre alot more expensive, or you could just feed it jumbo krill. Kinda funny you cant use feeder fish when carp are them main fish to fish for in the UK =D

no, i doubt it, very much. i have a small one and he's not showing any predatory behavior toward live fish, yet. plus, his mouth is quite small, at 3 inches.
