FISHIOLOGY

Predator fish is defined as a fish that kills and eats another organism,  common  prey would be fish, crustaceans, insects, worms, and so on.  Apart from hunting,  occasionally they scavage for dead organism as  food sources. Predatory fish are  mostly carnivorous.  They have a big stomach and short intestine designed to process protein as their  main source of energy. Feeding true carnivorous fish with pellets is wrong as you  will notice they poo most of the pellets before they even had the chance to digest  any of the nutrients. It is like feeding pellets to tigers, actually, cats do poorly with pellets too unlike dogs that are omnivorous by design. The typical way we keep predatory fish is feeding them with gold fish and prawns,  any type of prawns. Now the problem with this is that most available feeders  Lampan, Gold fish, Carp, Seluang in fact all the family of fish under the Cyprinind  Species has very high enzyme known as Thiaminase enzyme. For some reasons, carnivorous fish d

One of the question I get most of the time; "Is pellet good for my fish?" well it depends on what fish we're talking here and what type of pellet we're discussing. I'm a predator fish keeper and predator fish like Arowanas, Snake Heads, Datnoids, big Cats, Peacock Bass and most fishes with sharp teeth are carnivorous fish. Carnivorous fish have a short intestinal tract, and a large stomach to hold their prey. Their digestive system has no ability to digest vegetable matter, so even though they might eat plants, they cannot extract nutrients from them. They are design to consume animal protein. They required a diet of at least 45 - 70% protein.  Protein should be the main component in the diet of carnivorous species of fish. Carbohydrates like starch, gluten, sugar and cellulose also provide energy. Typically, carbohydrates enter the body via plant matter so most carnivorous species of fish do not get, nor do they require, a high level of carbohydrate in th
