Hi, my son caught a little perch in our creek and has transferred it to a large aquarium to study it for a couple of months. It is doing well and eating nicely, although what it has eaten is strange.. some deli turkey intended for its aquarium mate, a crawfish caught in the same creek.
The perch is about 3.5 inches now, and we think it is maybe green perch, although we are trying to determine the exact species.
Our question is: how much and what and how often should we feed our new "pet?"
Thanks, fish friends
I might just stick with the turkey..he really likes it..and it seems like good protein. But, we do have some pellets to try too. It's neat to have a new fish..and he is very smart. He has all kinds of interesting behaviors and is always on the lookout for food.
