No pics just a little written update.
All fish are doing well but Im not able to do too much due to hand surgery. I cant get it wet.... lol. That really puts a damper on things. Just another week and stitches come out and I can get back at it.
I decided to order a different food to try on my polys
It is a high protein food like Massivore, hopefully without the stink. I had read a little bit on it on another site and wanted to try it but it was a little difficult to find. Well it looks like Amazon will carry and it is available online at other places.
Some info posted on another ste: http://www.predatoryfishkeepers.com...e-Tablets-amp-Hai-Feng-Bottom-Dweller-pellets
I am waiting for my order to come in but really like the size compared toMassivore. It is slightly smaller and should be easier for my polys to takedown. I will post more when it comes in.

Thank you, its all on the mend. Been down this road before. Trigger finger surgery second time.Interesting! I like the smaller size... keep us posted on how the polys take to it! Get that hand healed up!
The Tropical Carnivore vs Massivore size comparison

My polys are at that point where the Hikari Carnivore is too little and the Massivore is a bit big. The Tropical Carnivore looks about right. Would love to try the Hai Feng stuff but cant find it available for sale here.
I used to have a pair... not sure where they were packed when we did the big move, lol. But all is well with the hand and I can work on the tanks now with no issue.

Speaking of LARGE FISH KEEPERS, I've been watching videos on YouTube with the Ohio Fish Rescue. Have you seen those videos? He takes in giant fish that outlive their tanks AND if the person gets a bigger tank and wants them back, they can do that. The dude in charge has the most epic mullet of all time too, by the way. His tanks are amazeballs.

He is a pretty large guy.... wait for it...lol. The English language is great for having two different meanings!
Yeah that guy does keep some LARGE fish.
I havent got a lot of new pics of Croc probably an old one somewhere of her at an angle. Endli are one of the coolest of the lower jaw polys for sure. They just look so prehistoric.
Croc has settled down on the eating and her growth rate has slowed way down. She is about 18 1/2” at best estimate.
Laverne is thick!
Captive born polys can have a tendency to overeat and get thick. Back in the day when Croc was going through her main growth spurt she was thicker too. I like her a little leaner looking. Ever since I cut the Massivore out of the polys diet they just dont carry the weight (girth) like they used to. They just look healthier.
Laverne seems to look good and healthy, not too thick, so I wouldnt worry about anything.
Im super happy with Croc as to her look, just bad temperament being super mean and territorial. She is a Dabola "Tinkisso river' endli from Toyin at Rehoboth aquatics. Another nice wild caught is the Faranah Endli. I has the flat head profile but said to be a bit calmer than the Dabola. A while back Wet Spot had these Faranah laps and they get theirs from Toyin.
