what do u feed a 5 inch peacock bass eat because i am going 2 get 2 of them and put it in my 55 gallon tank and i was wondering if u feed it with pellets,feeder guppies,or small feeder goldfish.

All of those foods would be appropriate depending on their size.

A 55 is no where near big enough for even 1 of these. They grow to 29". Realistically they’re not a suitable aquarium fish, because they get very large. 2 Adults would need several hundred gallons.

how can i get my peacock bass to start eating my pelets cause buying feeders is getting really expensive so i wanted to know how i can get em eating pelets or flakes there 5 inches and other is about 3 inches thanks

One way that MAY work is to make your fish hungry enough so that it will take the new food. Slowly introduce like one or two pinches/ couple of pellets each time when you decrease the amount of feeder you give it, and then don’t feed it for one or two days.

On the day you start feeding it again, start with the flakes/pellets. If it doesn’t touch them, feed one feeder fish and leave it again for another day.

This method usually works, and fish MOST OF THE TIME are not picky eaters.

Brine shrimp (live and frozen), freeze dried bloodworms, can also be good alternatives.

You can also go with the answer above and start breeding guppies in a 15 or 20 gallon. Wait for it to cycle though…

cheap flights to the amazon?

November 3, 2009 - 9:57 am 4 Comments

hello! me and my boyfriend are looking to travel to Brazil and go to the Amazon rain forest mid January time…the cheapest flights we can find are £700 each return. Was wondering if anyone has been for any cheaper? The airport needs to be fairly close to any part of the amazon…we were looking at Manaus.

Thanks!

Flights to Brazil will take between 16 and 22 hours depending on your route. There are few direct flights from the UK so it may be sensible to find a european or US gateway.

Try some of the online sites like travelsupermarket and cheapflights and also independent travel agencies like www.journeysalacarte.co.uk or travelbag for example. Independent travel agents have more scope in the range of airlines they can access than the normal High St agencies and they also specialise in the independent travel scene rather than package holidays to the Costas.

Brazil is a former Portuguese colony so trying TAP the Portuguese airline and Varig the Brazilian national carrier would be a good idea.

I think it likely that you will end up with a three part journey in the end, UK to gateway, then to major airport in Brazil and then a local flight to the Amazon. That would point me to the independent agents as this is where they shine.

Good luck

How to Survive an Anaconda Attack
According to the Peace Corps manual for volunteers who work in the Amazon jungle, here is how you survive an anaconda attack (edited for space).
1. Do not run. The snake is faster than you.
2. Lie flat on the ground, put your arms tight against your sides and your legs tight against each other.
3. Tuck your chin in.
4. The snake will begin to nudge and climb over your body.
5. Do not panic.
6. The snake will begin to swallow you feet first.
7. You must lie perfectly still. This will take a long time.
8. When the snake has reached your knees, reach down, take out your knife, slide it into the side of the snake’s mouth between the edge of its mouth and your leg. Quickly rip upward, severing the snake’s head.
9. Be sure you have your knife.
10. Be sure your knife is sharp.

Uhh… yeah, RUN. Anacondas are ambush predators, if they strike and miss, they can’t chase you down. They are semi-aquatic, and fairly slow on land.

Tucking in your limbs is just making it easier for the snake, if anything, sprawiling out and making yourself appear larger would be a better plan. You;d be constricted first anyway,

Finally, above all else, if this were really effective, I would think making sure you have your knife with you would be #1
