i have a tiger muskie about the lenth and gerth of my index finger. I was wondering what i can feed it?? right now iam feeding it gut loaded guppys , but i was wonderin what else? i have oscars and jags and red devils, and red terros in with it so its even harder to feed it with all those fish darting after the guppys. any suggesdtions?
 
If it's the girth of your index finger then it should be about 4-5" long. Fish that large will eat minnows a good 2-3". With esox I try to feed fish that are 50-60% of the fishes size. This will bulk up your fish and prevent the others in the tank from stealing your feeders. I'd move up to larger feeders at once.
 
Put it in a separate tank and power feed it until it gets bigger. If you got it with Oscar the Oscar will get any kind of food you put in first no matter what kind.

Then again eventually if it makes it past one foot it will eat your Oscar and the rest of tankmates.

Well said. But not really past one foot dude...probably more than 2 feet. They aren't overly aggressive if the other fish is large and tough enough, and if the tank is large enough.
 
i have two too and they love guppies about 1-2inches big and ghost shrimp:nilly:
