I know that CC are considered to be higher end predators, but my limited experience with CC is that their mouth-gape seem to be on the smaller side compared relatively to the overall fish size. Theos did a long study on it maybe a decade or more ago...'cause he's older.

Further, when I observe many CC taking feed, they just seem be highly inefficient and slow moving. Now, I have seen a few with the "Hoover" technique, as in vacuum cleaner; those ones are highly efficient but still slower.

I think there's no reason not to try if it's what you want to do.

"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
