Royal Whiptail catfish

[DiscusEden]

One of the pair of royal whiptails (and the tail of the other). The picture doesn't give an indication of the size of these! They're huge!

:D So proud :D

[DiscusEden]

Thanks guys!

[DiscusEden]

This might give an idea of the size. I think this is the male, with an emperor tetra.

I'm so proud!

They've been sucking up blackworms at a great rate. I hope these are OK for them, but not much I can do about it. They completely ignored the algae wafers and carrot.

nice photo :)
do u feed live blackworms ?
from what iv'e read there not too good to feed discus, cause of the increased risk of disease...

[DiscusEden]

Nope, I read that too, so I've gone the frozen. They don't seem any less interested though.

The discus ate beefheart for the first time tonight - it was only froz blackworms & froz brineshrimp before that & the tetras cleaned up the beefheart.
