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

Mine too! He knows the turkey baster is his friend. In fact all I have to do is hold the turkey baster in my hand and he gets all excited.

Here's some pic.'s of mine. He eats mysis.
