Jardini was eating...PLEASE help

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
First job test your water
Second is there anything inside the tank or around the tank that could be spooking/stressing out the fish ?
What have you tried offering as food since your last posts ?
Last resort try a few feeder Neons or something small see if any dissappear (live fish is always last resort Imo as I could make problems worse)

Have offered whole and chopped trout worms, frozen-thawed blood worms, frozen small shrimps sold as fish food, crickets and a variety of sinking and floating pellets. The stingray is not dashing around or causing much commotion I the tank.

Live fish next I guess
 
Try either raw king prawn/shrimp (blue in colour) or muscles.
Both can be bought from local supermarket it's cheaper than lfs.
Every jardini I've owned can't resist raw prawn so worth a try before you resort to live feeders

if your nitrate is at 0 then your tank is not cycled, that could be your problem there.

I aporeciate the feedback, but would disagree that tank is not cycled. Tank was cycled around 6 months ago. I do weekly water changes and have maintained 0 nitrate for months.
Maybe I am incorrect with my way of thinking? ButI don't think I am.
 
I wanted to give everyone that helped me an update. My jardini ate an earthworm in front of me tonight. I filled 75% of the top surface with brazililian pennywart and let the worm dangle in to the water. As it slowly began to sink my arowana snatched it up:)

Thank you everyone for you help!
 
Glad to hear it's doing well keep the worm digging going ;)
 
i would shut the light off and slowly introduce him to food. once a day at a time, once he is ready he will enventually eat. some fish take about a week or more.
