  • Has an infatuation with watching my fishies eat...

    I love watching my fish tanks but I love watching them scatter all over the tank in a feeding frenzy!

    Been feeding my Trophs extra meals inbetween the autofeeders feedings and now with my shrimp/planted tank I've been feeding them like crazy too! All of my Boraras are starting to look like guppies with their swollen bellies and just figured out that my halfbeaks love shrimp pellets so I've been crushing those up for them.

    Between all the fish, the tank bottom has shrimp food squares to watch the shrimp feast!


    Sigh... wish I had bigger tanks so I could house a ton more fish.

    I too like to feed my fish just to watch them feast. Especially the polyodons. No wonder ppl say I have fat fish.

      I sit and stare at my fish. I notice a bend scale, a berried shrimp, and if a fish isn't looking quite right. When I feed them, I can tell how excited they are... or if they don't like a particular food. I can sit for 30 minutes watching them eat, seeing their bellies get full... very relaxing and has great entertainment value when a male is doing the mating wiggle.
