I am curious whether or not i could feed a large Fahaka cooked chicken on the bone. Plain of course, not seasoning or anything of the such. As far as i can tell, these fish have very strong jaws, but is the bone maybe to hard? Would this be okay as a main diet? I have fed chicken to fish before and i liked the outcome, but i have never fed it on the bone. Input, ideas, or experiences?

Thanks.
 
I'd rather not
stick to clams and mussels and such
 
Yeah I think that a little chicken in bits and pieces, as a treat, is ok, however you have to remember that fish don't have the ability to break down large quantities of those kind of proteins. I'd avoid that much chicken IMO
 
Don't do it. Way too faty & not nearly enough nutrition in cooked meat. Now when do you think a puffer would ever come across a cooked chicken to eat?
