bad idea ?

Post by sw10mm »

Would it be a bad idea to once in a while feed my fahaka live fish? Either rosy reds or convicts? I just think it'd add a lil excitement in his otherwise boring life

What's wrong with a live cray or crab?

I feed mine live crawfish now and then. Its much more exciting seeing him bite the face off a cray... I personally am not too concerned of the crays sudden departure frome life.
You have the right to bear Puffers.

I do live crays once in a while like once a week but I'm looking into buying frozen its cheaper is there any reason not to feed feeders once in a while?
