My fish are brine shrimp pigs!
They eat heartily their tetra flakes. Not so enthused about the vegetarian flakes. They go crazy the tubifex worms!

But they go total apeshit feeding frenzy PIG when I give 'em brine shrimp!

holy crow, it's awesome to watch!!

It's like watching 75% of the customers when they enter an Old Country Buffet - they might be straining and moving slowly to get to the door from the parking lot, but once the theyr'e inside, it's like there's a jetpack on 'em to get to as much food as quickly as possible.

6. That's cool, but watch the Plecos.
If they get too big they can get vicious.

7. Maybe I was lucky, my plekos never got vicious and would swim to the top
and turn upside down for any food. And they didn't stay upside down, like fish do when they do what fish do best.

9. We had one pleco that killed everything else in the tank.
Then the ex put him in a horse trough.
