    My fish bit me today

    I had a mature red devil for about a year and i had to hand feed it otherwise he or she wouldnt eat. The last time i fed it, it lunged out of the water and bit my finger. I was mortified and i did sell the red devil soon after. It had at least 50% of its body out of the water.

    Nah its just as easy as gravel. Put 1" - 1 1/2" down. As far as the gravel vac goes you can hover it slighty above the gravel. If alot of sand goes up the tube you can pinch the plastic tubing and it will drop down. Every few months you should agitate half or a portion of the sand to release...

    I used gravel that was about 3/8 of an inch in diameter. From observing the feeding habits it appears they try to move the gravel to access food. They dont seem to be able to move the gravel as it is fairly heavy. Imagine only ever being able to sift through that. I believe sand is or a...
