They can grow to 3-4 foot in length! ...and well over 2 stone.

what do you feed it on to get that size

as for the fish have you ever fed them blister packs of meat ?

I used to get a beef heart, dice it and cut the main veins out then liquidize it to a pulp, then put it in a plastic bag and roll it flat about 6mm and freeze it, this is so you can break a chunk off at feeding time, the fish love,
I had a marine tank where I had a copperband used to be fed by hand like this one

4 oz (110 g) self-raising flour
½ teaspoon salt
5 fl oz (150 ml) water, plus 1 scant tablespoon


Just sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl, then gradually add the water, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and free from lumps.


Yum Yum.

All Maine Coons get that big! I'd never heard of them until I watched Harry Potter and decided I wanted a Wildcat like Mrs Norris.
I have some frozen beefheart cubes I've bought from a garden centre but none of my fish are crazy about it. I don't think I love them enough to do what you suggest with the heart lol. The Silver Sharks aren't currently eating anything websites suggest but they are nosing about in the gravel alot so hopefully they will bottom feed like the Rainbow Shark I have.

We paid £15 for a Bristlenose a year ago and I've only seen it 3 times.
