My fish eating lunch

[Paul B]

They are having clams (that I buy live and freeze) Mysis and LRS food. They get this every day but I switch the clams for live worms every other day or so.

I don't remember how old the copperband is but he was as big as a nickel or quarter when I got him maybe 5 or 6 years ago. The fireclown is about 26 and I forget when I got the mandarin but he was also years ago.

Is this your old tank or the new tank at your new house?

That’s a hungry hippo

That must be the fattest CBB in captivity anywhere. Awesome to see.

Bao, I didn't move yet so that is my only tank.

If you notice, especially in the beginning those "flimsy" pieces of food he likes the best is clam. I freeze it and shave off tissue thin pieces of it. He can, and does eat large pieces of it because I cut it so thin. You can't do that with a fresh clam but it is easy with a big, frozen clam. The rest of the food, mostly LRS food he also loves but some of the pieces are a little to big and while he is chewing, he seems to get mad because the other fish are eating the rest of the food. He is a big hog.
I limit his eating because if I let him, he would eat until food came out his nose, and thats not sexy
