I figured after the dozens of requests for a video of the girl, and finally having a minute to do it here it is.....a midnight snack, a couple bites of krill. I don't know what happened around the 42 second mark, she just goes nuts. Enjoy.

I know the tank has smear marks. It's hard to wipe it down everyday after she splashes everywhere. You'll see what I mean, watch the video.

I couldn't find my tripod for my digi cam, so I just scooted the couch out and stacked up some pillows. I couldn't get the whole tank in there. I guess it gets the job done. Thanks for the comments.

She sees you coming. She's looking at the camera and turns and goes right to you. Have you ever tried to keep anything in there with her? Probably wouldn't work out well for other fish. Nice video thanks for sharing.

do you ever try chunk shrimp or whole clam? I'd love to see a video of him (or her) vs. a cherry stone clam.

Yep, that sound is her inhaling the food. It's not as fun watching her eat the bigger stuff, she just swallows it. I feed her cubes of squid, seafood mix from the market, raw shrimp and I give her snacks in between sometimes just like in the video I supplement krill and she loves the XL New Life Spectrum pellets. It's more fun watching her chase the little stuff like in the video. She can swallow a whole piece of raw shrimp.

I have the tank covered as best as I can but water still escapes sometimes. I always keep a towel close by. She is just an awesome fish to have.

Great looking fish and great video! I bet it could eat 4 or 5 big shrimp on its own.

You guys should see her attack the aqua tongs when I put them in the tank to move rocks, etc. after she knocks them over. There's no way I'd stick my hand in the tank. NO WAY!
