Fahaka and nls jumbo

Post by nightster »

Well I feed my fahaka nls stuffed shrimp, it swallows the chunk of shrimp and nls whole. This morning I noticed that it "releases" the whole piece of nls. I don't think its getting any benefit from the nls. It will not eat the nls by itself and if it feels the nls in the shrimp it will eat the shrimp around the nls and leave the pellet alone. Any ideas?

Ye may not be able to digest them. Stick with more natural foods:

pellets are no good for your fahaka . Stick to (pref soaked in vitamins ) frozen cockles , mussels ,clams etc ...in the shell and the odd live crab, cray etc..... or if still small give snails and the odd few bloodworms here and there ..
