Okay so picked up a NGT from Wes about 3-4 weeks ago. Refuses to eat anything. So far I have seen him eat 1x rosy and 1x frozen shrimp. Today he just ignored all the shrimp I put in the tank. He's the only dat in the tank. Stomach is badly sunken in. Broke down and got him rosies tonight. Saw him eat 1 rosy. He's stable and active. Haven't seen him poop white stringy feces, but I put in prazipro to maybe deworm him to see if this is why he's appetite is low.
NGT not Eating
- Thread starter Tig Phish
- Start date
whats his setup like? If he's in a bare tank I'd give him a lot more hiding spots and to make him feel more comfortable. Maybe nitrates are getting high?? U can try ghost shrimp too but rosy reds should do the trick
Yeah he's in a driftwood setup. plenty of hiding spots. I'm not even pellet training him, just trying to get him on frozen shrimp consistently. His appetite is just not there
get some live blk worms. you can keep a nice live clump in the tank so he can eat at will. After that start training him onto frzn blood worms. Then start mixing in crushed pellets. Eventually you should have a pellet eater.
New Guinea Tiger. Good news, my NGT is now taking shrimp like a champ. I actually hand feed him with these tongs I got off amazon.
New bird take time in new setup. As soon as he for adjusted in your aquarium he became a champ on shrimp
