Update: my little 2.5ish inch p'bass downed a 1.5 inch adult guppy! it ws hilarious


And when you wake up in the morning he'll be skinny again and noticably BIGGER.. :eek:
 
sweet now you see they have a fast metabolism...feed them a couple times a day if you want them to grow fast and big =] then wean them onto raw shrimp...
 
yeah well only one of them got one, so i put one in for the other bass and the one from last night got it again! the little one had it but he spit it out at the last minute and the now bigger one snatched it up...il have to figure out a way to make sure the little one gets one
 
yeah but i also have a 4 inch oscar thats snaps up everything and if the other bass eats one more i swear he will pop..... ill prob do that in a few days tho, thanks for the idea
 
yea wait another day before tossing some more in...but on the day you toss them in just pour them all in...this way they all get their share...and i don't think one fish would get all the feeders...
 
oscars are like food hoarders they will eat till all the food is gone kinda like fat people. jkjkjkjkjkjk i love you big boned folks out there!
 
im not really worried.....he keeps to his side of the tank, and he doesnt bother anyone, and is very well fed...i mostly feed him flakes and pellets and the occasional cricket
