    He's about a foot long. I'm trying to find him a new and BIGGER home... He's growing fast and will be too big for my tank soon...

    He's still a young fish... Eats a large can of Krill about every 2 weeks. I'll try dropping some live food in there to try and fatten him up...

    no live food, he needs pellets that are high in protein, massivore delight, and for a fish like that he should eat a can or krill every three days or so lol

    I buy the big can these days. Costs me thirty bucks! I've seen those pellets before. I'll pick some up next time i'm in the store. I read before I bought him that feeder fish weren't good for him because of the bones. I have given him worms before though. He seems to like the krill more than anything else...
