Mingii the pig

Found a couple of decent sized earth worms today and tossed them in for the tangs. I figured it would be the two big kids that got them but the naso couldn't hold on.

This post needs a PSA warning. My tummy got quesy. Just gobble the worm already, don't swim around with it sticking out of your mouth.

It's like sucking in spaghetti I used to cut them up but only the naso and mingii show any real interest. My female CBB loved them but if she wasn't fast enough the naso would steal them.

Hey @fishguy242 no more romaine?

I think Paul does this occasionally as well after a nice rain.

I do that a few times a week and have been since the 60s.

Gorgeous tank: fish and corals.

I got a similar feeding response using live mussels. Even a mandarin got into a feeding response with a sliver of mussel longer than him.

Where do you think I got the idea

Do you still feed romaine? I've been tempted to give it a try. Be fun to see how the gang responds to something new. I used to feed it all the time when I kept fresh water. People say it isn't natural because it doesn't grow in the ocean. Wonder if those same people have read the list of ingredients one some of the commercial fish food

Paul has an article about clams. Ever since I read it I feed clams 1-2 times a week and the fish love it!

Paul,
You guys have invented a new way to go fishing and not having to clean fish after the trip.

What kind of fish eats strawberries? Also, do you pretreat broccoli to soften it?
