He goes nuts for those although so does everyone else. I'm sure I'm doing a number on my bioload but what can you do... Hard to argue against that wide fish are long-living fish.
Marie yours does look pretty wide comparatively, at least.  |
Mine stuffs his beak right up inside the turkey baster that I use to feed the tank with so not only does he eat first but there is less waste...as long as its mysis in the turkey baster of course
