Good sign its growing LOL Do remember they will eat even more as they grow up !! ie a few kg per specimen per week of food !! Try to wean them off live food (save you heaps in food bill ) - Frozen seafood or any meat item are equally good !! Try to feed whole item (even thou foul water real quick) but better for your animals Whole item as in prawn with shell(no head and tail pls ) Fish with gut , Chicken bone in ...etc |
