I just wanted to kno something about feeding. I mean i feed him good, giving him flakes, shrimp pellets, and occasional bloodworms(none in excess). I just would like to kno if theyre are any foods (NON FISH STORE BOUGHT)/ Natural foods that the blochii (4 Line will enjoy). Thanx in advance

I don't think so, since it eats meaty foods.

On a slight tangent(Thought HH might be interested), talking of Bloch, I was recently given three original prints from 1802.

Not catfish unfortunately, but very nice they are too. Must find out which publication they were in.

Thanks.

It says here that the original is worth over €90,000.

I wonder if mine are worth anything, not that I would want to sell them.

Here they are....
