  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Tell us his feeding regiment, please, and the history of it.

He started on small pellets, brine, bloodworms and now he is on Hikari sinking gold & massivore, cut tilapia fillet, repashy meat pie, locally harvested & bred grass shrimp, and pretreated guppies.

Thanks. Both live and dead? I'd think he woud refuse any non-live and hold out for live, no?

I only give live every once in a while. My lfs orders me 300 shrimp weekly, but sometime suppliers are out. He has always been on pellets since day 1 and he recently started devouring the cut tilapia like a champ.

Very happy to hear a success story. My 18"-er died unwilling to convert to dead foods. I was devasted.

Sorry man. He is such a laid back fish which is why I took him out my 240 and out him in a 125 w/ Geos for now to catch up to my cichla. I never had any problems, but other fish are growing faster. I have a Pimelodus ornatus that was giving him a lot of competition for food in the 240. The ornatus is just so fast that he definitely takes a lion's share when it's feeding time.
