I thought you had one? Or did you used to have some?

yea right.:grinno:
ive never seen one in person!
except that one footer in the lfs.
was beat up and dying...
 
I'm more curious to see who was able to ween theirs off of live foods. Once I see its within the realm of possibilities, I'll rethink adding one to the collection.

Same here,I bought two from R1 a few years ago and they would not budge unless the food was live.
 
I know of one that was on pellets. It hit them with a vengeance too. It is possible, you just have to be diligent.
 
this thread was a good dig-up! what happened to them?
 
Well...I'll admit that trying to get it off live food was a challenge. After reading that they prefer cold water as well, I was trying to get to off live by starving at the same time. At this point I think the combination of starving and no heater during winter did mine in:(
 
What about the other Siniperca,does anyone know if they are more or less finicky?
