Post by defool89 »

My fahaka like them silversides, I think they're anchovies... should this be a snack or okay for meals?

Neither, fahakas are not piscavores.

We like to eat junk food but it's not necessarily good for us.

I see, I guess for the most part I follow that. He eats. Live crabs and crays everyweek, I don't thaw out my food so thouroughly, I just chunk it in the tank he grabs it and waves it arund like a lion. I'm not worried about the extra bio load, I change my water like crazy and get it tested every 2 weeks. I have quite a bit of ghost shrimp that scavange for leftovers anyway.. whaaddaya think

I think it's always best to thaw his food in room temp vitamin water & drain off the "juice".
