It's not very visible on the video I posted, but you might be able to see it if you look carefully. If I give him such a rare treat of live shrimp in the future, I will make sure to get a closer shot for you.

It's probably been asked before but I haven't found it.


I was thinking while looking at the cuttlbone in my snail tank and was thinking if it'd be alright for a fahaka to chomp on it a little to help with his beak like birds and what not.

Anyone do it?

I don't think that would be good...it would probably cut his mouth all up.

Toss it in and give it a shot, but I doubt the flavor will be very appealing
