It's good to see pics of her. How's she doing? Eat for you yet? You have a full tank shot? You will enjoy this fish; I sure did.
Well I still had 3 feeders left in there from my piranha but now I'm down to one (as you can see in the first picture). I will take more pictures when I get new batteries for my camera.
Keep feeding feeders to that wonderful fish if you want it to die early of fatty liver disease: http://www.**************.com/forum/library/feeding/feeders/

I rarely feed feeders to any of my fish, there was a healthy tank of goldfish at my lfs so i picked up 5 for my piranha for a treat. I have many shrimp in my freezer that i feed all of my fish.salsa;2446758; said:

no , but it only takes one to put desiese in your tank , or pass a desiese to your fish by eating it. i dont not think you can ever say there was a healthy tank of goldfish , most things that will kill your fish cannot be seen and the way goldfish are bred means the chance og them being ill is far increased .
iam neither for or against feeding live fish , but i am against useing goldfish for this very reason.
i dont think pufferpunk was trying to be rude , just passionate about puffers and wants to see them receive the best care, through many years experiance with them. i would of probably pointed out something similar if it was a snakehead getting fed the goldfish. obviously only eating one or two the chances are minimal that any damage would be done, its more of a heads up for the future
cheers col
