View Full Version : Big Royal Knife isnt eating help
My big royal knife wont eat, i stopped giving my fish feeders about a month ago and i havent seen him eat since. He looks fine but his stomach is slightly depressed. I have tried shrimp, earthworms, silversides, black worms (which my other knife loves) and he just doesnt seem to eat. What else can i try?

my royal also loves Frozen krill. maybe try silversides frozen of course. if he doesn't eat soon you might have to isolate him in his own smaller aquarium if you have room. I would feed when the lights are off and things have calmed down a little. most knives are alot more comfortable at night when feeding. good luck and keep us posted
