Fantastic pictures there Whitey, do your cheni usually go for blood worms? Ours show very little interest in frozen foods and seem far happier with sinking wafers.

Lovely fish Mick- I'd go with Jim's ID. None of mine are as finely reticulated as your second shot- that's a really pretty fish.

Les, my cheni will pick at bloodworm and brine shrimp, but they much prefer algae wafers and sinking pellets. I've been trying Ocean Nutrition sinkable wafers recently, and they're very popular. They'll also eat odd scraps of flake and crisps that fall to the bottom. I don't actually feed much specifically for them- any more than half an algae wafer won't always be finished. I think they get a lot of nutrition from browsing natural algae in the tank.
Fast and bulbous!
