so are other fishes with thiaminase (which included minnows, suckers, smelts, bullheads, scuplins, shads, whitefish etc) which make up bulk of walleye diet in the wild.
This is a fish you don't keep

Not to derail to much but since you're the only person I've seen on MFK with a Sander species, is your walleye very active diurnally or does it sulk like I've heard most tend to do in captivity?
Most times its usually sulking all day unless its SUPER hungry. If my walleye is active, time to feed him. I only feed him twice a week so I can see some predatory behavior instead of feed him everyday. He's capable to take frozen/dead foods but I see more active behavior from him when I offered him some live foods.
perch, young sunfish, crayfish and leeches but they are only available at specific times of year.
Dang buddy you think you have enough filter on that little tank for 1 fish??? LOL.. You look like me now with all that over filtering!!! Nice looking fish there, My big Red tail cat started drooling all over the place when he seen it!!! LOL..
Thanks. I'm sure my little fat friends wouldn't last a minute in your tank. They are like swimming baked potatoes with all the fixings!
I personally think piscivores aren't nearly as susceptible to thiaminase problems as other fish that aren't primarily fish eaters in the wild...thats just me though.
