A face only a mother could love....

He is my easiest fish to feed, since they are luckily (and unluckily, depending on how you look at it) very opportunistic feeders. He was already trained on frozen silversides when we got him about a month and a half ago. At that point though, you had to wave the head of the silverside infront of his face to get him to go for it. Now, I just throw a couple in the tank and he gobbles them up (as long as they are floating in the current). He will eat full size ones but I like to break them in half just so they fit in his belly a bit better... hehehe. Also, he will eat the tail-end of the silverside now, as opposed to needing to see the eyes.

He's a very cool fish.... and is a great addition to our growing collection of "oddballs" (including a Pinnatus Batfish we aquired over the weekend, which is just today eating frozen brine. Updates are soon to come once we are sure the batfish is going to make it).
