Shamu getting fat

[Aquanero]

I'm interested in knowing what you think turned him around? Did you keep the temp up? Also what are you feeding him? Psycho acts the same way when he sees the food jar he comes about and inch or two out of the water I have to watch my fingers, like he hasn't eaten in a week.

Are Convicts still in there.....if so do they pick on him like they used to?

If I knew for sure I'd let you know. He first started eating well when we had a heat wave and the tank hit 85-86. He then fed on Hikari for about a month while I kept the temp up, and after I lowered it back down for bit. He then quit eating again for about a month when I ran out of Hikari and switched to NLS Thera A. Now he's on NLS jumbo floating and sinking.

He's left the barbs alone for now. He tries to chase them every once in a while but with 11 of them he can't target in on just one. He does chase the HRP fry that are in there from my pair, they're getting to a size where they're just a mouthful.

Nice looking Midas. Can't wait to see how he's going to turn out like once he starts bulking up and colors intensify.
