wish my fish ate like that... lol stupid barra will not eat anything that is not moving. so if the sinking pellet hits the ground, or gets caught in a plant, he will just leave it. meaning i have to drop them in one at a time till he is fed (he eats about 20) lol. silver perch is a little less picky, and will come steal the food from my fingers before i drop it for barra.

Angels are voracious when it comes to food!

ya I find it with angels and discus they are more willing to eat if they have "Friends" that compete with them for food, so back when I had 1 discus only feeding was difficult, but when I got a group, they are pushing each other out of the way to eat.

Raising angels is quite difficult. I found that I had to keep them fed well in order for them to grow quickly and not get stunted. Frequent water changes were also necessary due to volumne of all that food and excrement. Good job...

I have never lost an angel. I find them easy except when it comes down to the aggression. I haven't had hundreds of them tho but I have had 12.

All young fish eat a lot and need to be feed more often than adults.

Great video, I am still waiting for my angels to get there act together on the breeding. I want grandchildren!
