If that areas where the gold dust is hanging out frequently then just place some tilapia there and see if it's eating. It still could be settling in.

Looks like it worked !!!! He nibbled then spit it out. Went back a few minutes later and cant tell for sure but it looks like he has a slight bulge in the belly not sure cuz he still hiding allot.

Might just be better to feed after light go out. My weeksii will not eat in the daytime at all. Will go right by food and not even take a sniff at it. Since feeding at night Ive seen a huge improvement on the size of the fish. Sadly I never get to see it eat.

I usually drop some pellets in at night too for the catfish. But i NEEDED to see it eat. From this point it will just be getting it pellet trained

Update on the little guys. Finly got the buettikoferi to eat pellets.

Was feeding them before and the sen got a little too close to the buettikoferis spot and it chased him to the other side of the tank and took a couple of shots at him.

Think the buettikoferi is gonna grow up to be a trouble maker ?
