How to feed:

Pandontidae fish dodo – Dissolved Oxygen. not feed from the bottom of the tank. The fish prefer to dine on smaller fish, such as minnows and insects. Since Pandontidae, fish are cannibals the fish can be trained to feast off meaty dishes or even worms. You will need a long stick to train the fish to eat worms, or related dishes.

If you decide to purchase the Mormyridae fish, make sure that the fish’s diet is maintained; otherwise, they tend to decline food, since the myogenic organs are feeble. Thus, Mormyridae fish are listed under the electric fish category.

Marcusenius Schilthuisiae species have silvery-brownish bodies, which include dark bands and dull tubercletubercle – Small White Pustules On The Gill Covers Which Exists Mainly On Freshwater Cyprinids., which differs from the G.

The species has an analanal – The Region Of The Anus (as Anal Fin). and dorsal fin. The fish is colored black or darker brown, which its body has two strips colored white.
