Indeed they do. i have heard about it, so made a little experiment today, i tried to see if my womas would eat fish, and indeed they would, they ate 2 thawed up herrings each and still looked like they wanted more, so its another thing to add to the list over possible food items to make it...

The bhp has developed a strange new behaviour. He is cruising around his tank as usual then gets to this particular point and freezes. No tongue flicking just staring at this spot on the branch. Nowhere else, just this one spot. It's the 3rd time I've found him doing this. This time for 20...
