My snowflake has been eating 2 small silversides alternating with 2 pieces of shrimp every day. The fish get fed 3x daily but for the evening meal she comes out and begs.

i have fed my 3 snowflakes JUMBO MIN made by tetra
they are for cichlids/oscars but they love them and have grown to there natural size and color
took a few days to get them to eat it but once they did that was that also freeze dried krill

Do they still eat the krill? I hear it's really bad for your fish.

yes they do but i don't think its krill but more like large freeze dried shrimp
they eat the jumbo mins as a daily feeding and a FDKrill 2X a week
Also my 2 dwarf lions eat the jumbo mins as well

There's nothing wrong with krill. It's a problem if that's the only food you feed.

Not sure, I went to the LFS near my house to pick up food and they had just brought her in. She came from a client's tank that was getting out of the hobby. She's 15 to 18" and about as big around as a jumbo hot dog.

Pretty close to being max size then. They grow to 2'

Awesome mine is about 18 as well. Got him when he was the siize of a pencil. Had him for close to five years now.

She's awesome. Knows when it's feeding time (everyone in the tank comes to the front corner about 30 min before feeding) and she starts cruising. She took 2 silversides tonight from my hand at water surface in a 30" deep tank. It was awesome, first hand feeding.
