Starve red tail payara

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
If it isn't eating frozen then I would try to get it to eat frozen food and then start stuffing the frozen food with whatever pellets you want to feed it. I could never get mine to eat frozen so I eventually just sold them back to the lfs. Too expensive to feed live 24/7 365 days a year.

it's definitely possible to do it. People have different experiences with their payaras. Do they eat fish fillet right now? If not, I would train it to eat that first. I could get my armatus on pellets but many people have.

You can starve it for 1 weeks or more with no problem. make sure you feed it first.

Do not feed your carnivores gold fish! They contain thiaminase (sp?), and that stunts your fishs growth! Give him live earthworms

A week is no where near long enough for that fish. You're going to have to go a bare minimum of two weeks, likely 3-4 to get it eating non-live.
