    Hi. Randburg in Johannesburg. He has eaten frozen food but recently I have been feeding him live feeder fish (baby shubinkins)

    The tank is completely fresh water, I put a handful of coarse salt every so often.

    That certainly is an interesting fish, and not often available.

    Anyone with an interest in Oddballs should snap it up. (excuse the pun) :amazed:

    Ive tried very hard to convince my wife that this fish will look great here with us, no luck. Sigh, such an interesting fish.
