I didnt mean that I dont beleive the growth its just amazing!!

your fahaka grew 5inches in 30 days?

Hes actually beggin for food at the front of the tank already, easy fish to fall in love with!! LOL

i beleive him to be free of parasites, hes eating gettin fat and havent noticed any white stringy poo

ya, hate trying to treat whole tank, very expensive, i do have a hospital tank however. he cam right out from behind a heater this morning to load up on blood worms. I love watching him trying to munch on a snail, usually takes a few trys to get it down.

well, i never see him much, lost in a 180, i dropped e few snails in and some blood worms, the couple times I was able to catch a glimpse he was fat and round, so hes eating. I hope he warms up a little and starts beggin!!

he ate a snail and some blood worm this morning! Hes skinny though.

he just ate some blood worms!! much more active . when should I try snails?? will he be able to find them, smell them or what, sorry for all the questions!

didnt realize he was wild caught, but it makes sense after reading"breeding fahakas!" what live foods could i give him

yah that makes sense, guess well see.

yes i added the bag watre to the tank, it was only about 1/4 gallon to a 180, dont think it hurt anything. Hes only a little over an inch long, even frozen blood worms look big by him!! I guess In just being paranoid, gotta give him some time to settle in.

hes used to live food???

well, hes still alive this morning. He swam around a lttle when the lights came on, I offered him a few bloodworms with no success and then he settled back to the bottom again. Ill keep tryin!

not at all, quitr round actually, just real small, didi i mention he was small!!!

I let the bag sit in the tank for a little while to even out the temp, then put some tank water in the bag for a few minutes then released him, he just kinda bobbed around the bottom for a few minutes and now is just sittin ther motionless. I have the lights off and Ill give him a day to settle. Hop...
