Rhaphiodon Vulpinus Feeding

He is about 3 1/2". He is in a 20g with a baby whale, it's a temporary and I already have a 40 br for his midsize tank and when he is older he may be going in a custom tank if he gets big enough.

He gets along with larger tank mates awesome. He hasn't harassed my 3 1/2" baby whale at all. He will probably share his new tank with an African Brown Knife.

The tank decorations have been mostly taken out for now to make sure that the feeders don't hide for too long. The quicker they are eaten, the less likely a disease spreads.

  • Awesome fish.. is he still alive? I know alot of people complain about them hitting like.. 10" and then dying..

  • @WeekendWarriorss Mine got claustrophobic and started rubbing his nose on the glass at 6". He stopped eating and his nose was getting infected. Within 3 days he lost his front teeth and rubbed his nose so far back that they could have never grown back and he died before I could set up his next tank. The species I had was R. vulpinus, and the species you are referring to is Hydrolycus scomberoides, which usually only reaches 10-15 inches and apparently only lives a few years.

  • maximum size of them please ?

  • @foroeste males can reach 12", females can reach 18".
