Okay I posted here because of his potential size. today was the first day i actually saw him eat! he ate a piece of krill from my forceps!!! hopefully he'll get trained enough to feed like this constantly. This guy is lazy but gosh he's awesome! i'm gonna need feeders pretty soon!

Please bring me an 18 gauge needle next time. Just incase I need to deflate one of my fronts. Not really looking forward to use it but just in case.:D

jacked lol:hehe: Nope it has to be 18 guage. Sharon, some variants of fronts are prone to FLOAT. They somehow manage to ingest air (when stressed or playing with bubbles) which make them float and sometimes the needle is the only option to deflate them.

Used to do the same with dogs that were bloated when I was a vet tech. It's like deflating a tire.
