It's my Fred the oscar.

Nice, Fred is handfed, and md1017 has to get a dry t-shirt every time Fred feeds!
I love handfeeding videos!
And it's one of the joys of keeping big fish, getting splashed from time to time.
Does he also take the food if you put your hand in the water?

yes he does hahaha but the fishfood must be long enough if it's too short like the first video he rarely take it but he wiggles infront of my finger holding the fish hoping me to release it but if he gets really hungry he will take it. He is still shy.

The thing that I fed him is an anchovy cut in 2. If I give him whole, he makes a big mess with it. He crunches the fish in his jaw and made fishy juice all over the place. Nasty and after, ammonia goes up to the roof.

Its just amazing to see how quick he recovers from ammonia spike I had few hours ago. He was bit dizzy and sitting at the bottom. Did water change and he's happy. Ammonia is still high tho. will do water change again tomorrow with seachem.

could be something to do with the big stones at the bottom,

i had the same but a bit bigger and it was hard to clean, get you hand in and mess up the stone and i bet theres load of shit in there, there was so much in mine a couldn`t believe it evan tho the water was fine

look at my vids if you want to see the stones

lol, i wanted to inquire about the bottom too.
Must be hard on maintenance too, like fishboy's old bottom.

Now that sounds a bit odd...

will look into your vid fishboy. I just replaced the gravel about a week ago with gravel. I didnt feed the fish for few days after that and the tank test was 0 ammonia 0.05 nitrite. Then I fed him, he was hungry as hell, he bit my finger for few times *this time actually tried to sucked my finger and it wasnt a pleasant experience for me too, hurt a bit ahahah*

Doing daily water change now.
