mbu bang on crawfish....

[madugo]

Try to feed your mbu as much formula one and formula two as possible. You don't want him/her to die from vitamin deficiency. Possibly the second killer of mbus in captivity, next to people not putting them in large enough tanks (1000 gallons plus!).

Very pretty! :-)

yes...i am trying my best to offering him as variety as possible...anything he eats..i feed him...shrimp...squid...crawfish...snails...scallop s...mussel, snail, frozen snail meat etc....and i dip the food in liquid vitamin once in a while...hope he would be ok lol

imo not really...at least mine...
he would eat to his limit and just stop eating...then when i put more food in there...he aint even look at it...
as they grow bigger...they would need more food...before i buy small shrimps..he would eat one and laying there for 2 days or so....
if he is full or trying to poop...he would most likely laying on the bottom of the tank, like he is sick or dying...at first it was scary...then i get use to it...and when he is hungry again...he would just swimming left to right in the top half of the tank...then when i walk up to him..he would be like all exciting and splashing the water with his tail...so that's when i know i need to feed him again...sometimes if you feed a lot at once...he would lay on the bottom a little longer...and back up swimming again later...so it is really simple...when he swimming like crazy when u get near the tank...feed him..when he not moving much...dont feed...
but recently he is eating a lot more...
like when he ate 4 crawfish today...he was only laying on the sand bed for maybe like 15 mins...and then he was backed up and swimming all around again...now i am all buying jumbo shrimps...the biggest one i could find on the market, which is like equal 3 of the small ones i use to feed...now he could eat one jumbo shrimp each day...and the next morning like nothing happened...swimming all around again...
