what can i use for a feeding tube will a pvc pipe work?

 

[beblondie]

It should, basicaly all you're doing is getting the food down to it past the other fish
in fact you could leave a piece of PVC pipe in the tank as a cave and put the food in it-Anne

 

[catfish]

will polypterus's only feed off the bottom cause ive only noticed mine feeding off the bottom

 

[beblondie]

I have a cpl that will surface feed and most of mine will hand feed-Anne

but remember in the wild they root thru the substrate looking for things to eat

 

[catfish]

did u have to train them to hand feed?

 

[beblondie]

yes but it wasn't that hard to do -Anne

I'll elaborate later
