Texas Terror is bugging me

[Alan Russell]

I get all size feeders including rosies for the different size fish I have. The texas terror tries to take feeders that are way to big for him. he ends up biting the heads off or the back half and wasting several feeders. Is this common?

Here is a thread where I posted pics. Very bad pics, but the best I can do with what I have at the moment. I'm not 100% positive it is a Texas Terror as you can read my post in the other thread. That's what I was told it is. Mine looks like your's though.

whats the difference with a texas and a terror

only time will tell if it's a texas terror or not.
it will get a really nice brownish red base pigment with like standard green texas scaling.
mine is about 9" and it took nearly a year and a half to get it to 9", they don't grow to quick.
good luck with yours!

yep. at least for me. my O would swallow goldfish whole, and my RD would bite 'em in half. I don't feed live feeders anymore, though.

Just curious, but why don't you feed live feeders anymore?
