I'm getting really annoyed with my Loisellei. He hoards all the food. I cant scare him away and i dont want to put up a divider. He's so annoying.

I'm trying to feed my other fish and he eats half of it for himself. He just keeps cramming it in his mouth like a chipmunk even if he too stuffed to swallow.

He out eats my Oscar who's almost twice his size.

I'm so ready to knock him over the head. Anyone want a Really FAT loisellei? :irked:
 
Just had to vent. I dont think i could get rid of him, had him since he was a baby.

cant have another tank. no room, no $, no time. I'm saving up for a bigger tank, but then i'm selling the one i have and moving everyone over. I have too much to do, 1 tank is all i can handle. :)


Why would i get rid of my Oscar? I'm sure not having a Loisellei in a 125 or my new 240 all by himself. :grinno:

but here's a picture.
Dont know if you can see how fat his belly is. :nilly:

ha... yeah, i'll probably just have to try that. Thing is i'm trying to get my new arow to bulk up. but its hard to do because he's still shy.
he'll come around and get braver soon i'm sure.

thanks for the compliments. if i ever DO decide to boot this guy, i'll come to you first. haha :D

you are sweet... yes now i can understand totally..with an arow in the tank it is a little difficult since he would probably get to nervous to eat if he saw you holding the net..it does not take much for the timid arow to get all jittery and make things worse... i quess you better just keep doing what your doing... :D:D
