i was actually thinking of getting gfhost shrimp at petland last night... they are the right size... perhaps i will do that. as for doing it by hand..i dunno, i dont want my hand near him haha

got him trained now, fed him with a turkey baister. Bought 10 little Danio's yesterday, he eats them like mad.

one day of using the baister and he knows its his food source now. If i just bring the baister anywhere near the tank he gets excited and goes for it, didn't think he would recognize through the glass. Now he takes peices of dead silversides as well from the baister!
