Wow, and I thought my african cichlids went nuts during chow-time! That's so cool! Thanks for sharing.

aspects

yeah, they are pretty aggressive eaters. you should see when i feed them MP. they go crazy tearing it to pieces.

Awesome video! Forgive my ignorance, but what is 'exodon'?

aspects

no worries, it is not ignorance at all. this is not a very common fish in the hobby, and many people have never heard of them.
exodon paradoxus is a monotypic characin. for the sake of simple explanation, they are essentially 2-3" piranhas, but much more active. some refer to them as "bucktooth tetra", though this common name is inaccurate and very misleading, so i dont use this term, or support its use.

^Thank you very much for the explanation. They're beautiful, and very interesting!

aspects

thank you. they are my favorites. hard to find, and a bit pricey, but well worth every cent.

Wow, I love the red fins and the black spots! Unusual fish. =)

What was that you threw in the tank? Couldn't tell but they sure went nuts lol

aspects

they also get a nice yellow/ green shine around the black spots. i supplement mine with some foods high in beta carotene, and this also helps to really bring out those reds.

it was 8 cubes of bloodworms. only took them a matter of seconds to completely devour it. they will eat an entire pack of bloodworms in one sitting.
