Doesn't salmon leave a lot of fat in the water?

 

[hanwyz]

Yes, but it's only an occasional thing just before a water change and I try and wash it well before feeding

Miguel, your aurantis don't touch live fish as well?

 

[Miguel]

Nver give live fish, Auranti. Ever.

And when I say mine do not eat fish, I AM NOT INCLUDING SQUID, WHICH THEY DO EAT.

 

[Joao M]

While I was waiting for my aurantis to arrive, I had 2 very young midas in the tank to keep it cycled.
They where a PITA to catch and I ended up keeping them in there for almost a month (until I finally caught them). The aurantis didn´t pay any attention to them.

My Channa Sp. Green fantasy eats frozen shrimp, frozen blood worms, guppies (very occasional feeding; i culture them). Also, he's very curious about my hand. Hope he doesn't decide to have a bite sometime

Thing is, he thinks a lot before gobbling up fish. You've gotta see him hunt.. it's super fun.

Cheers,
