Terry (the owner) is a great guy . Tell him Clint recommended him and I’m sure he will ship. It is a beautiful fish , I’ve actually been eyeing it myself. Lol

Anyone here with experience with Fu Manchu? have heard they are difficult and picky eaters. MY LFS said they would be able to order one but I am curious how difficult it would be to wean off live feeder shrimp

I’ve had one for 2 years now and still primarily only eats live foods. Very hard to get them off live but if you don’t mind going to your lfs twice a week or setting up a 10g freshie tank they’re great fish. Don’t move too much but really cool

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I don't mind that at all. I have had some freshwater predator tanks and have been missing the live feeding. In your experience what live food was best...ghost shrimp?

Ghost shrimp, guppies and when they are mature rosey reds. He only eats a couple a week my radiata is a much more aggressive eater and of course my grouper goes crazy and eats the most. I get 30-40 rosey once sometimes twice a week and let them all go crazy. My tank looks like a glitter bomb went off it’s kind of cool. My eel chases the feeders around but rarely catches one
