Stupid Sen!

[dbcb314]

So I have been feeding my leopard bush fish flakes recently. The flakes stay on the surface, so only they will eat them. I don't want to feed my biggest sen every day... I don't want him growing at an accelerated pace because I have two grow outs in a 10 gallon and he is the reason they are still in grow out. He is biggest sen, fatest sen, and has eaten a baby polli before.

So, the poly's only get fed every 3rd day. Bush fish everyday because I need the smaller ones to grow.

But today, old fatty sen decided he wanted to eat too... and came to the surface to eat freaking flakes out of the blue.

Freaking fat ass

All my polys, but especially the sens, eat from the surface when I feed floating foods for the other fish.

My pol NEVER eat on the surface...THEY are truly stupids!

Mine just waits for the flakes to fall down and it'll pick it off from the floor.

why are you getting frustrated over the sen wanting to eat more than you're giving it? don't punish it because you got some sens too small to live with it right away.

Grow them out, be patient, and feed it better.

Don't worry dude. As long as the fish are well fed they're less likely to make a meal out of your other fish. My 12" bichirs never attack my smaller fish but that's becasue I feed chunk of shrimps daily.

- I am not frustrated I thought it was funny

- 2-3x a week feeding is just fine.

- Feed it better? My fish normally get live black worms as their main food.

- I have a del and an ornate growing out in a 10 gallon. I would like to get them out of their as soon as possible. For one, the tank is small and I am doing water changes constantly. For two, the tank is small and the poly's are bickering.

- I just thought it was funny, that is all.
