New discovery!!!

[lilpenquin]

So after keeping fish for years, I've discovered something. I'm not actually keeping fish. Nope. Unbeknownst to me, I'm keeping miniature aquatic pigs that come in different shapes, sizes, and colors with one thing in common. The desire to eat to no end. They'll beg and plead for food and go crazy when they get it. I think these are actually little aquatic pigs. Not fish.

If you keep a goldfish below 55f, then you're statement is invalid. They do not eat/almost nothing.

My cichlids love bloodworms and brine shrimp. He eats pellets, but he is crazy over bloodworms.

I have 2 small ones they're in a temporary tank with some Malawi cichlids but right now that can't be helped. But there's no bullying going on and everyone looks okay. I know its not the best place but its what I have rt now. My fiancée and I are moving out to our own place in the next couple months where the oscars will have a big tank for themselves and their food haha.
