used my new aqueon water changer ..........excellent ........bought the tap fitting off ebay only £12 inc p&P from across the pond ..and fitted my existing hose and gravel cleaner ........job done ..one hell of a lot easier and less labour intensive .....bye bye water containers

Expect prices to go up ! .......a lot of sites are doing free delivery on orders over £50.....looks like the days of cheap deals on prime off ebay are over ......just paid £15 for 500ml plus p&p

To be honest looking at your vid i'd say your fahaka looks A1 in size , colouration and activeness, certainly doesnt look over or under fed .

All you will do is stunt it's growth and leave it open to disease through a lack of nutrientse A starving fish is at a different end of the spectrum to...

a hungry fish is a healthy fish by and large ...........overfeeding is not just detrimental to the fish by consumption but also vastly lowers water quality due to excessive waste .

Fahakas do get bored of eating the same food , i find that regular variation of diet keeps mine active ........she'll go mad for cockles one day and another day not be in the slightest bit interested in it , however dangle something different like a bit of mussel ( as in your lovely vid ) in front o...

Sands fine for when your fahakas very small but as they get bigger and cause more mess you'll find the sand a bugger to keep clean and a fine gravel is a lot easier to maintain , also sand is very supscetible to BGA especially in puffer tanks where theres a lot of excess nutrients due to waste .

My 10'' Fahaka still attempts to buty herself although the theres not enough depth gravel for her these days !
