Hello- Wanted to start out by saying I'm new to the forum even though Its helped me for months with my fish care.
I recieved my new wolf at 9" from sharkaquarium bout a month ago now. He is currently in a 180gallon 6-2-2 by himself which was fully cycled a month prior to recieving him. At sharkaquarium his diet consisted of just feeders from my understanding. I decided to give him a few to try to get eating in his new home. It took a week before he eat any of them. I fed him feeder 2 a day every other day for bout 6 days and decided to make the switch to frozen foods because the fact that goldfish are not good
. I picked up some tilipia, catfish nuggets, and silversides to try them all. I tried a piece of each everynight now and still not interested in any of it. I've also tried soaking the food in some garlic gaurd... but still no luck. It has been quite awhile now that he has eaten and I'm getting worried almost to the point of given in to given him a few feeders. Just looking for some ideas on new foods and techniques. Should I give in and give him a live?
On another note this is my first hoplias and Id like to know if the sit and hide all day and swim, but easily scared at night is typical new hoplias behavior.
Thnx
Chris
