    We dont feed him live food for a few reasons. 1. It will only increase his aggression 2. You never know what kind of crap live feeders will bring into your tank 3. Girlfriend is opposed to anything eating anything thats still moving :) He usually gets a diet of frozen foods and certain Cichlid pellets and flakes. Feeding him is a delicate act as is cleaning the tank. Alot of times he will come out of the water when I'm putting in a meal and when I clean the tank I have to keep a barrier between my hand and the fish.
