Rainbow Snakehead

"no i mean the process of finding the fish having him pose to get a good shot then figuring out how to post pics sounds harsh..."

As i am growing him out i need pictures to track his growth rate so i am alreday taking pictures, not just to post them up on MFK.

Will have a look for whitebait thanks

Thanks
Matt

my one loves mussels get them in tescos very cheap and you can freeze them so always have them in stock

Thanks

I will try and get some muscles, prawns and bloodworms. if i fed him 3 times a day with one of those each time, will that be enough to grow him on fast or should i feed something else? I have cockles will that do instead of muscles?

Thanks
Matt

do snakeheads colours intensify of fade as they grow older?

Thanks

some change the classic being reds(The juvenile looks nothing like the adult). With your one keep the water good and a mixed bag of food and he will colour up nice.

also they colour up better if you put in lots of plants and hiding places(caves).
You may already know this but ill say it anyway.
keep your temperature low they are not tropical,i keep mine around the 20 mark,in fact there is no heater in there tank at all
