Thanks, he has only ever eaten feeders, I figured I would have to wean him onto frozen, But I cut a cube of the stuff I feed my loaches into fourths put it on a skewer shook it around in the tank and he gulped it right up, same with the cocktail shrimp I cut up for everyone else.

He'll also enjoy shrimp pellets, blood worms, and anything else meaty that fits in his mouth. Great fish to have, we've got two of them, and they are always checking us out, playing follow the finger through the glass, and sitting together.

His name is Nigel, and he owes me Money!
