OK, so just got back from the LFS..they had half price special on blood worms so I stocked up. While I was there I got a box of crickets - never got them before.

Came home and my 3yo stood on the chair near the oscar tank and she poured some in. Then WOOSH a big wave comes out of the tank, the crickets are gone in a microsecond and my daughter is saturated from head to toe...no exaggeration...her hair and face were dripping, her t-shirt and jeans saturated, the chair wet...I reckon I'm gunna have to top up with half a bucket of water now!!!! It was like a tsunami.

So, they like crickets!

Thank god the tank is on a concrete floor...

Yep, will get the camera out next time before hand. My daughter thought it was funny - she hand feeds them their blood worms each night so she knows their enthusiasm for food....yeh, pretty funny...shaz
