You Won't Believe This

[Stump]

As small as I could with scissors, really. A couple of bigger chunks won't really matter, but I tried to get it as small as possible. Chopping the worms finely doesn't really matter as much as the shrimp, as I am not too worried about my sens choking on a piece of a worm.



Hope it works for you too. I even got my BGK to eat them.

That's funny we are feeding the same thing.

Mine's pattern is definately showing... They may not be incredibly dark or bold, but you can easily tell they are there.


Thanks, and good luck with everything.

although some people would disagree, i've never had a big bichir eat a small bichir. even when size difference was 15" to 3"

sens should be fine

I agree. I have a 10'' palmas at work right now in the holding system and I have a pile of baby albino sens and palmas in that keep ocassionally slipping thru slots in the dividers and he doesn't seem to care, even when eating side by side.

I also have a client with 2 x 6'' albino sens and a 24'' Ornate that have been together for 6 months with no incident. The sens were added at 4''.

Recently added a 8-9'' endlicheri!

I just got a new lap today!

I haven't had a lap since last year, and I miss having one. They were my first lower-jaw species and I really like them.
