Malaptururus Electricus Fat Degeneration... I think...

Post by Big Fat Malaptururus »

I read in the Catfish Atlas that malatururus can turn obese and die from fat degeneration(I think that's what it said)... I feed my 4 inch 'lectric cat a 1cmx1cmx1cm cube of frozen bloodworms every other day... is this too much? How do I know if its getting obese?

No.

You can tell that it's getting obese when the face begins to swell up.
