Baby fahaka
Posted: Wed May 13, 2020 2:47 pm
Got a little sub 1 inch fahaka last month. Have de-womred (upon forum's advice... Just joined by have been reading for months)
He's in a 125g. When I got him he wasn't eating (only the odd blood worms...) Have tried mussels, brine shrimp, krill, market shrimp... All soaked in garlic. Have a 5g with now hundreds of snails.. have crushed and dropped some in but uninterested. Even have tons of babies now in the 125(sure it will eat later).
Has a fat tummy so not worried... However thought he was getting really sick/blind as it was randomly biting rocks that were beside actual food sorces.... Days later still healthy tummy.. still looks blind biting rocks/glass.
Decided to look closer at gravel he's hitting... And he's actually hunting and eating little grey fish mites(apparently I have thousands.. guess gravel got a little too dirty from all medications and less then normal gravel vacs)
Thought I'd share lol.
