Besides if they couldnt it would take half the fun out of it, wouldnt it?
Ive never actually eaten marron, i suppose they taste similar to their marine cousins, do they?

Your lucky you still have marron in your tank after a moult !
I had marron and silvers in a tank ages ago and noticed one of them moulting one day. I got up for around 10 seconds to grab a beer then sit and enjoy the show, when I got back it was marron soup ! bits and pieces flying everywhere !
Moulting pheremones make them irresistable to all things fishy

Neither species really bothers the others. Has been a fairly happy tank so far. Marron havent attempted an escape yet either that im aware of... They might as they grow and get a bit friskier about territory. They will be outta that tank before long and into a bigger pond. I only plan on keeping 2 or 3 long term. Whatever is left i will sell.

Hard to be mad they probably thought they were being helpful feeding the "pinchys".
So other than the mess do they go ok on catfood?

My mrs and kids would not understand why there is a dead kitty in the lounge room fish tank being fed upon by marron.

Thats funny Androo! Marron are funny little buggers, well worth keeping.
I have chucked a 10-15 cm Murray Cod in with my silvers and marron. Going ok so far. I know this will not end well long term but at the moment all is well... When it gets agro it will be put in a tank on its own. Hopefully before it munches anything.
So glad I got this fish. I have always wanted a Murray but never really had room for one as well as everything else. He has been sulky since i got him Saturday but he is slowly coming out of his shell.

I had to empty my pond tank the other day and refill it... Well my Marron decided they didn't like shiny new fresh water and legged it... Didnt get far, my dog was all over it. Had em bailed up. All I could see from the kitchen window was the dog going ape shit at something, then I saw this little blue claw extend out of the grass towards the dog. Walked outside to see all five crawling through the lawn I chucked em back in and they have stayed put.
Was funny as hell to watch the dog freaking out though.
