be careful about the bug bites, it has a high fat content so feed no more than once a week.

Thanks for that info, I didn't know that. I've only used it every couple of weeks so I'll just keep it at that schedule.

Love this forum!

He ate flakes without hesitation so I don't think feeding will be an issue.

Nice. Mine took a while before they switched onto prepared foods. I alternated frozen glassworms, frozen bloodworms, frozen mysis shrimp and freeze dried krill with mine.

Yes, the fins indicate it should be a he.

Thank you! He'll eat anything I put in there. Great little fish, I'm really happy with it.
