WOW! Good feeding......

[Cichla dude]

Well yesterday I was feeding my fish as usual. I thought they were getting to eat like they did. Pbassand fire eel eating worms, clown knife eating pellets, snook eating pellets, and all you know cats eating everything.
Then yesterday I threw in some shrimp for my cats and I notice my three pbass eating some shrimp, my clown knife eating shrimp, and my snook eating shrimp. Then I add pellets and they all ate pellets. Then I add worms for the cats, and the clown knife and niger cat ate worms.
Cool but very unexpected. Now I need to get my fire eel to eat shrimp
First time owner of cichla, on pellets already. First clown knife to eat everything...
Just thought I'd share.

Thats awesome that your fish are all eating a god assortment ... well except for your eel but hey he will come around, I understand hwo exciting it would be to get a P bass to eat pellets as most who have kept them will tell anyone it is no easy task most of the time.

I agree though I do beleave it will not be long before your cats will start trieing to get your bass if they aren't trieing already ..... we are just letting you know so you can correct it before anything happens ...

Thanks Cakilla, yeah my pbass are a little bigger than my cats... well not the rtc or niger. but the rtc is going soon, and the niger don't eat live.

Good decision cichla dude.. & good for you to get ur fish to eat pellets!
Must be a great feeling, hopefully your cats don't eat your pbass.
Good luck & thanks for sharing.

I for one am totally shocked at how big a fish my 17inch shovel nose was able to take down and how fast. Though I full well consider them as dinner since I have them in the tank with him, I am still shocked that my tsn took down the 2nd largest fish in the tank and left the little ones alone.

the tsn when it was about 13 inch took down a full grown big cichlid that was about 7 inch and what is funnier is I was there and got the action shot

I was totally shocked to see how fast he did it and what he took down

Wow chefscott, thats a nice tsn! I might have to get me a tsn for my pond.

and on the side note of how big a fish a catfish can eat

here is a picture after it hit my 8 inch knife from the side and basically folded it in half and down it went. My kids saw it do this I was busy cooking but got the stuffed belly after shot.
