A variaty of food is always best to my opion. So (Cichlid) pellets, earthworms, mealworms, fishfilet, prawns, crickets etc. You can use defrosted frozen food from the supermarket as well. One should notice that chunks of f.e. defrosted fish(filet) shouldn't be to big to swallow. So it's better to cut it into stripes than into cubes.

Mostly I buy earthworms (dendrobena) at the fishery-shops because there are hardly any worms left in the surroundings of my house.  <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="" />

That's equal to one carrot of about 8 cm. I guess.  <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="" />]]></content:encoded>

Oh, and I've noticed they eat some vegetables! They've eaten almost all hygrophyla that was in there and now if a piece of apogoneton falls of they fight for it and eat it like it's the best piece of meat. Then I really feel I don't feed them enough <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="" />]]></content:encoded>

Snakeheads can be easily overfed wenn being fed every day.

I've been told to feed them once a day while young and later on every few days. They're now getting variety of pellets (high protein), ocasional live food and betta culls once a day. Should I feed them more? They seem to be hungry all the time but as I've been told, I shouldn't overfeed them.

Thanks again <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="" />]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hi Ksenija,

If fed properly (above 20 degrees Celsius every 2-3 days and a variety of food, with lower temps the amount of food should be adjusted) they will grow up to 15-17cm. max. I think they could even go to 10 degrees Celsius if the temperature drops slowly and not all of a sudden.

cheers,
