    hahah lol yup he eats good, he's really fat after every feeding. i'm thinking of starting to feed him every day instead of every other day, as i'm afraid the 20 gal maybe stunting his growth, which i really don't want that to happen. So i'm hoping the more food he gets the bigger he'll get. I also just fed him 3 crickets, a snail that he started to go after, and a clam just now, and he gets dinner tonight

    I saw it on funny videos, someone had a goldfish and they had fishing string tied to something that was in the shape of a t (could have been an airway splitter?)...and it was rigged to a tiny jingly bell and the goldfish would pull it for his food. Was very funny!

    hahaha that's so funny, and sounds like an easy setup. But sadly theres no room on the back of my tank thanks to the filter, proten skimmer, and heater. I also just had a p.s issue when i cleaned it today, and apparently i didn't tighten the tube good enough connecting the black thing in the tank to what i'm assuming is the actuall skimmer part that hangs on the back to the tank and started to flood out like crazy, thankfully only for a few seconds and didn't create a huge mess. And hopefully you know what part im talking about cause i have no idea what the parts are actually called :p

Your lucky you got it to skim already..I don't want to even tell you how long I had to putz with mine when I had the salt setup! Lets just say I called a an entire arsenal of names including considering putting it under the conv. van and running it over like a million times. Lol!

    hahah lol yea, this has been my only problem with it, it only took a few days for the crap to start building up in the cup, and it was running with no problem from the time i set it up. But i'm going to wait until my parents get home (sometime tonight) to set it back up again.

    This one in the vid I am talking about was on the front of the tank and rigged through the plastic canopy that lifts to allow you to feed.
