Jabba has grown 1/2 inch in one week

This is Jabbas second week and he has eaten everything he could get his little fat chompers on, I've done 3/ 50% water changes this week and he looks a little bigger than last week. For Memorial Day he will get 1-clam n the half shell, 1- silverside, and if he can catch the 2 red crabs who come out when it is pitch black and 8 elusive ghost shrimp he should be well on his way from 2.5 to 3.5 inches in 2 weeks. I am also thinking about doing daily 50% water changes to enhance his growth potential what do you guys think

Nice! He's not picking on the clowns?

No he has been busy eating one red crab, 10 ramshorn snails, and some ghost shrimp. Also PP is it alright to put 50 snails and 6 red crabs with him; will he eat them all or just what he can catch.

Ive heard they will eat till they die, but my fahaka will eat till he has a belly and stop no matter how much i put in his tank

In a tank that size, they should be OK.

After he ate his last snail he just took up a hunting position and watch ghost shrimp loligag past him, I guess he was full. More video tomorrow!

I guess I got so many goodies in there, they keep Jabba busy licking his chops.

I really wish Bloat would let me add some fish, he just likes to lay around all day

Did anyone mention that most or 99% of fahaka's are killer's and not well known at getting along with other tank mates? Maybe not know will he decide to start turning on tank mates but it could happen. I only heard the stories time after time but never risked it myself.
