Jeff:

Hi! Thanks alot for getting that info and including the link to the page with the photo of the ghost fish i mentioned in my posted message. I appreciate it!

The black ghost is the coolest looking fish: it is such a shame i caught him mauling other fish (well, a shame for him, not the other fish ...) It moves very gracefully forward and backwards, and was a real treat to watch when it came out. If it were just eating the immature fish, i could understand. But it ripped out the eye of a marbled hatchet, which was a decent size fish, i think. Also, i was supplementing the regular tertramin flake food with shrimp pellets, aquadine spirulina blend flakes, dried blood worms, and some frozen green squares of algae or spirulina from Formula Two. I know they like tubiflex worms, but i havent gotten around to buying them yet.

Do you think the supplement of tubiflex will satisfy his cravings, or do i have to treat this fish like an agressive predator?

Anyway, i enjoy your page/site and find it very helpful. Keep up the good work!! ;)

gal
