my clown knife eats massivore pellets.... frozen Hikari silversides....{it has to be Hikari because they are the only ones that make up the large silversides..} cooked shrimp {the kind we buy} jumbo ... break it in half and tails removed... or smaller ones if yours is a little guy... when younger and smaller frican cichlid pellets... sometimes even algae pellets.. when the big common pleco was in with him.Gr8KarmaSF;3867730; said:
the Black ghost knife loves smaller silversides and large Hikari african pellets...
Well my clown knife is about 5-6''. He hides when the lights are on, but when the lights are off he is out there crusing for food. He eats like a pig. Man I sure love my clown knife. He eats shrimp, worms, cichlid gold. So I suggest keeping the lights off for some time to see your clown.
they are nocturnal ...so you get all the action when lights are off...Gr8KarmaSF;3875200; said:
Mine just stopped hiding and he/she is currently around the 10 inch mark. I have noticed more free swimming in the day as well. In the past if I wanted to see the darn fish i would have to sit in the dark with my lights dimmed down at the lowest level.
It took my ck about a month til it came oust swimming freely in broad daylight, now he begs for food lol.
