Got a slow motion video of him eating.

I was going to ask what you guy's are feeding your perches?
Here is one of mine stalking his meal.

Mine eats anything that can fit into its mouth lol. He was eating only live at first but it took me about 3 months to train him.

Here is a video of him swallowing a nice sized tilapia chunk

 

[FunWow!]

Just keep in mind that if he gets big enough to where he can fit his tank mates in his mouth he will if he gets hungry enough.

Yeah he ate a wide bar silver dollar that was 3x the size of his normal food. I took everything but the peacocks and pleco out.

Damn that didn't take long... One day I'll get another one but it needs to be alone lol

The fish store just got another one that's smaller. I'm tempted to take the bass back and just have the two perch the tank

Is it a lot smaller than your perch you have now?

Just got the smaller perch home. Bigger than the datnoid in the tank that the perch is usually by. The bigger perch seems very curious and docile towards the new one. He almost seems to be keeping the silver dollars and the temensis bass away from him. I'll get some pics when he's done hiding.
