Default Got a new Humu Picasso

Hows the metabolisme on these guys? i usually feed once a day, (Krill, squid silverside parts, clam) but he's seems like such a pig, even more so than my puffer. I didnt read anything that said they need to eat more than once a day, but just want to make sure he's getting his proper feedings.

thanks!

You better wrap ducktape around wires if you have some inside you tank, because I heard the can take bites out of the rubber and make things shock the tank and even you.

The ground probe is very important.

Some people just have toooo much time on hands, or are so pitifully lonely they have to do such.



Any doubt? Other "Corn Posts"

May even be same person who liked to do this in past.

Let him post away...don't answer...and he will eventually go away...

It seems as though someone is posting "less than helpful" comments to the threads in an attempt to amuse themselves.

The rest of us aren't laughing...please don't feel discouraged and don't stop asking real questions!

Twice a day eh. well the lights dont come on for quite a while after i've left for work in the mornings. Do you think if i just toss a couple pieces of Krill in there in the mornings with the lights off he will find it?


and i do have some wires in the tank but did not think they would be able to bite through them, but come to think about it. at the LFS when the lady put the bag in the water to scoop him out...he did take a chunck out of the bag. she had to get a thicker one. lol. guess when he gets bigger he could do some work on those wires.

The wife stole the camera last night but i should have it back tonight to post some pics.

Thanks!

Where do you get the live crayfish and feeder fish? my lfs doesnt offer them. best i got for fish is getting some mollys or something from walmart. I've got a puffer and a Lionfish in there with him aswell. (no the puffer doesnt pick at the lions fins...as of yet anyways) im sure they would all enjoy the hunt. =)

Oo i think i will stop and get some molly's on the way home and video tape that! that would be awsome.
