Try feeding them live fish. They're carnivorous fish. Dun think they'll take frozen worms.

Not converted. But they may originate from brackish yes, but they shouldn't have any problem in a feshwater aquarium (make sure your pH isn't too low)
They sit and wait for prey to come by.

my lions are abt slightly less than 2 inch...and the frog mouths that i wanted 2 buy were at least twice the size.

scared the frog mouth attempts 2 eat the lion

Ok no way should you put those sizes together. My chaca was 3.5" and the toadfish was 4-5"

You may actually have to lower your water level to help the fish catch prey in a tank as large as yours. Feed ghost shrimp and goldfish.

yeah prob try ghost shrimp. It should do.

Side track abit,
How big can the chaka chaka grow? Wanted to buy a couple of times.

they can be trained to take MP.

they are converted from saltwater to freshwater.

but actually they are very hardy , once i caught it @ pungol (1.3kg , this fish can be eaten , sweet and tasty ),i kept it in fresh.water for 3 months .


will take live bait.
