Hey man, you should probably put some type of cover/decorations in that tank for those fish. As those are not really open-water fish, they're probably a bit stressed out being that they have no cover to associate with. Also, that one fish in the front of the tank looked like he has some kind of lesion on his side. Might wanna check that out.

I agree w/Kanus - some plants (anacharis) and maybe drift or bog wood would make the tank look better and encourage more interesting behavior with the fish. I've heard that nightcrawlershe got bit up real bad byt my green sunny, but he is healing and still eating.

often have pestacides in them from bait farms, so you might want to collect worms from a compost pile in your yard.
Thanks for the video!

Good to hear that fish is doing well. As for the plants...you will probably have to settle with plastic. With that combination of fish, your plants will either get eaten or constantly thrashed/dug up. Those bullheads are monsters...nothing is safe with them.

Sorry about your sunnies....they were beautifull fish. I was thinking about putting a bullhead in with my greens....but after some research decided I will wait till spring and find a madtom instead.

You ever break up those worms a bit? Looked like the fish were working pretty hard to get that whole one down.
When I feed worms, I usually break mine into 2-6 pieces, depending on the worm and/or fish. Then, everyone gets to eat!
Makes a mess of your fingers, though...

When I had sunnies and bullheads, I kept a small cutting board and knife on the aquarium...worms, shrimp, bloodworm chunks, all easily cut and cleaned up hassle fry.
