i have recently purchased an indo tarpon about 4 inches and I’ve had him for about a week now and hasn’t ate at all yet. I’ve tried cut up tilapia pellets and I don’t wanna try feeders. Whenever I put flakes in and pellets he almost hesitates to eat but never end up eating. I just need help with...
