What do yall feed your fahakas? (new here)
got this guy about a month and a half ago and has already grown well over an inch. So I was wondering what seems to be your fishes favorite treat... He religiously eats bloodworms, mysis shrimp, mussels, half clam shells, snails and of course live crabs and crayfish.

By far, my fahaka's favorite food is big earthworms. He also loves: shrimp, mussels, oysters, clams, crab legs. Live foods: snails, crabs, crays.

Never thought of those... What about self bred feeders like guppies and platys, that way theres no chances for diseases?
