Panther In the House

Yeah, our new pet is called Panther because its one of his many names hee....

He's a FISH, actually, I'm not sure if its a He or a She yet. But I doubt I'll ever find out in my 2.5ft tank hee...

Our marine Panther is in the Soon Hwak family, often bred or caught for its valuable meat as food. Panther is only 2inch long, we'll have feed him quite a fair bit to get him to commerically valuable size hee.

He's quite a fussy eater, he doesnt take fish flakes =(

He ate the frozen sea monkies for 2 days and STOPPED!
(while he was eating them, he'll gobble them in his mouth, chew on it and spit it out, catch it again, chew abit and spit out, after about 3 cycles, he'll find new sea monkies to eat.)

Is he monkeying with his food?

Maybe got to practise the Eugenia theory of starving them to get them to be less picky about their food. (Eug & her Hubby has Arowana) Not sure if freshwater fish and marine fish follow the same theory? Maybe its another example of convergent evolution or adaption hee...
