[Freshwaterpredator22]

Hey MFK members i just got a Paroon shark about a week and a half ago before i grabbed him he was eating spectrum pellets. i brought him ome and i tried feeding him the past 5 days he wont eat my other fish eat but not him/her. i tried meal worms, nightcrawlers, live blood worms, frozen blood worms,
hikari carnivore sticks, omega sinking pellets. he just wont eat all he/she does is swim back and forth in my tank. Any suggestions ?

hmm you think my arowana swiming around him might stress him out, no signs of fighting my jardini is 4-5 inches they are currently in a 240 gallon.

Well do you know if previous owner maybe fed him live fish, and now he isn't used to other foods.

Do you really live in the amazon?

I would say not to worrys unless it starts getting extremely skinny. I had a tig that didn't eat for 2 wks and was fine. If it goes any longer I would start to worry. Just feed every day. I never heard of a fish starving it self to death.

Try feeding the pellets it was eating before you got him.
