ok I wont mix them then, I know micros get 2x the size , was hoping they did anyways, call it wishfull thinking at its best lol. I paid $20 for this guy, said he would give me a better deal on multiple, I hope he remember that when I go back Thursday. He said his source had a few left still. I wish I was getting them at the price of those feeders, here I had to beg the guy to bring some in, looks like he was happy with his turn over, sold both he brought in, in under 24 hours, I got mine a few minutes after it arrived and left the other there, I went back the following afternoon, and another guy said its gone but they had already placed another order for a few more.
 
crazyfreak204 where do you buy your smelts from? I presume you buy a lot of them at a time and have found the cheapest source?

lol I read micropeltis seem to live together find in groups, is that groups of micropeltis or any snakehead? like could I have a couple micros and a couple say aurantimaculata my second favorite snakehead? just a though if I can find any before the ban.

Mixing snakehead species is not a good idea most are very aggressive toward other snakeheads.

Even worse with the species your talking about not only because micros will be MUCH larger but also because auranti are a sub tropical species who need unheated tanks with lower temps and seasonal fluctuation, Micro's on the other hand are fully tropical.

Oops only saw this reply after answering , Excellent choice ! I always enjoy seeing keepers making responsible decisions! Far too many people ignore good advice.

I fish my own smelt ! It's bit more work but one bone chilling day out on the ice is worth it for free feeders !
