DeepBlue Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Firstly, an elephant ear would trap your fishes for food.And an elephant ear looks like this bro...that is probably a very uncommon one.... (hint...fragging it again??? ) Most of them look like the attached pic, light brown or greenish coloured. They shouldnt do any harm to you bigger fishes. They do enjoy occasional feeding with chopped market prawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincegoh Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Where do you buy the Sliver Fish? I am trying to feed my elephant ear.

SRC Member minsmarine Posted November 15, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted November 15, 2004 Where do you buy the Sliver Fish? I am trying to feed my elephant ear. By the way, any idea how to keep the fishes away when feeding it? My fishes always snatch away the food from the elephant ear mouth. Silver Fish from Wet Market, NTUC. Other alternative is shrimp ( chopped ). I use my finger to control and put it in to his mouth, till half go in than I let go. Sometime take 15 mins , sometime less than 1 min.
