Butis Butis Tankmates?

Pop into the garden and have a rummage about. Earthworms and woodlice are both useful foods for fish, and completely safe, assuming your garden isn't sprayed with nasty chemicals.

Once the fish is settled down and associates you with food, getting it to take frozen food should be easier. A bit of hunger won't do any harm, either.

Cheers, Neale

The fish is not taking frozen foods. He snaps at them and then spits them out.

OK Thanks! That shouldn't be any trouble, especially once spring comes around. I love to garden and there are always plenty of both. My daughter is a little silly and collects worms and "rolly-pollies" by the handful and carries them around saying they're friends! Maybe she'll be grown out of that enough this year to feed them to the fish. Its raining today and pretty cold but maybe I'll be able to get some later when it stops.

very cool fish, can't wait to see some updated pics as it matures.

I'll make sure to post some.
