Zebra Knife Feeding Attempt

[Hoyo12]

A video of me trying to feed the Zebra Knife a feeder. It was to big for him though, and I do have smaller feeders, its just that this one died while in the feeder tank.
No music this time, the video is to short.

That's pretty cool. I have never seen a zebra knife live or in video. Thanks for sharing.

You can also try dried shrimp and cut up market prawn. My knives love them.

very nice knife! but i'd throw away feeders that die just incase, especially with a fish like this.

Thanks. The tank size fore now is a 10-Gallon. He is only about 5 or 6 inches (Looks like five) So he will do fine in a 10, but once he is larger and more aggressive he will go into the 60-Gallon.

Thanks. The fish had died about 30 min. before the video, so it was still in good shape to be eaten. Now if it had been dead for a few hours, I would have just thrown it away.

Ok Just a question if the feeder died wouldn't that make you think it was unhealthy? And why would you want to fed an unhealthy fish to your fish?

lol, it was stressed when we had brought it back to my house from the pet shop. It was at the top of the tank breathing hard, and I went down stairs, came backup, and he was stuck to the filter. There was nothing wrong wih him, just stressed (Happens all the time when you bring 2 dozen feeders home, atleast one ore two are going to die from stress)

I was able to hand feed the Zebra Knife a feeder last night. I will try to get a video of it again tonight. He has moved from the 10 Gallon to a 40 Gallon. He is with the E. humboldtii Knife, and some others. Everything seems to be going well so far.
