Feeding Renzy

[vulkan]

-Edit- I misspelled frenzy, stupid F key...

These are my flatheads going crazy over this algae wafer, trust me, they eat every last bit of it, and then they all go hang under the java fern and rest because they are stuffed.

I tried flash, motion, and macro settings on my 7.1 camera and all were bad. The macro photos turned out best, they move too fast even when they aren't eating to get a good picture

The algae on my glass probably isn't helping either.

There are two varieties, Pimephales promelas (flatheads)and Pimephales vigilax (bullheads). They both are sold in bait shops for live bait. I find them interesting because when spawning the male cares for the eggs just like a cichlid would. There's also a red variety which falls under the same latin name I believe. People called them flatheads, fatheads, tuffies, shiners, it all depends where you live

I'm always giving them away.
