Polypterus Feeding Frenzy!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Crazy! Love how the Moke muscled in with the big boys. Do you cut the tilapia into small pieces when you get before putting freezing or do you cut it up like that when frozen?

Hahaha I know right? I was hoping someone would notice that. Definitely no ordinary moke. She's got a big appetite!

I buy the fillets frozen, and when I feed I run the individually sealed filles under cold tap water for about 3 or 4 seconds on each side. That thaws the frozen fish sufficiently to be easily cut with a sharp knife and hold its shape while chopping up into those little cubes.

Fish seem to like the cooler temp so feeding quickly after chopping up the fish is important. If they finish two small or one large fillet within 4 mins, I feed one more small fillet.

Nice update Serg. Do you ever get lazy cutting tilapia? I usually dice 4 lbs of tilapia and freeze it in small trays. I would defrost and serve when I want.

Thanks dude. Sometimes I'm lazy. That's why I trade off between pellets and tilapia plus the nutritional benefit.

I try to minimize the thawing and freezing of the fish meat because each time it destroys more nutrients.
