    Yep, after about 10 days they will eat the kitchen sink if only they could only fit in it their mouths. I've seen them try to eat bees, moths, spiders, ants and mosquitoes (ants and mosquitoes they'll eat as they actually fit in their mouths). They also will eat cooked hamburger and chicken, although I wouldn't actually feed that to them as part of their diet. I just tried it to see how much of a pig they are. And they are pigs.

    I will say you should try fresh cocktail shrimp cut into tiny, tiny pieces. Mine loved them so much they would stuff multiple pieces into their mouths (until they physically couldn't fit anymore) and then spend 5-10 minutes chewing on it. As long as they could get some more in their mouths they would chase all the other fish away. The others had to wait a minute or so until the clowns were "stuffed to the gills" before they could get their fair share.
