Having seen my Platydoras armatulus only once since I got him (about 3 wks ago) this morning I went on the search while doing a decoration shuffle to disrupt line of sight (learned from reading forums on here), and he is obese to the point I'm considering Atkins!
My question, he is currently C. 3.5 inches long so how many flakes/pellets should I give per night?
ATM after lights out I give one large wafer and 2/3 small ones (see pics). Bearing in mind my other fish have a go at these too!
All comments appreciated,
Happy Sunday!

Not sure on the feeding front but I just looked up that cat. Man are they cute! The website said the females tend to be broader across the front but I'm not sure that yours would show that as (according to planet catfish its only half grown).

Yes he's a pretty cool guy, looking forward to him growing a bit and perhaps being a little more social! I'm just afraid that one of these days he is gonna show up with a rake away from McD's lol
