    So, he has no problem with the mysis and is eating it up. How long would you think it would take the fish to fatten up? Do you think there is any chance that internal parasites could be at play here?

    Just got a electric sharkray. Anyone got any info?

    My LFS just got in a Diplobatis ommata (bullseye sharkray) and it turns out it was pregnant! So, the mom had 8 babies and I just had to get one. How often are you gonna come across that?
