Clown Knife

[simply sherry]

My psycho clown knife was upset this morning because I only had 1 feeder left, so he ate 3 algae waffers. What do you think will happen?

Have you ever heard of this, I haven't? I have seen him try to eat them before, along with rocks and plastic plants (never real ones) but he would always spit them back out.

well if it is a coldwater fish then tell me because if it is then then check if it it stays at the bottom of the tank if it does then you can feed it algea wafers.

What does that even mean? And no a clown knife is NOT a coldwater fish.

Poopsy do your research!
All fish that live in coldwater, that reside in the bottom of the tank eat algae wafers!
Especially 3 at a time.....
And extra especially if they are coldwater, algae eating, bottom dwelling knife fish....
Obviously

A fully healthy fish should be able to last a considerable length of time without food. It is not to say that you should intentionaly leave them without food, however, they can survive one or two weeks while the owner trys to find something for them to eat. If you are looking for a back-up food sorce in case this happens in the feuture, you could try frozen white bait. It simply sits in your freezer, untill it is needed. Short tearm though, he should be fine without. If he is taking algea wafers, you could offer them as a short tearm solution, however kife fish are perditory, and need more meaty food in their long tearm diet. HTH
