Hi all
got myself a 3 inch delhezi, when transfering, it jumped out of the container, then 2 weeks later, it managed to squeeze through a small hole, found it 1 hour later..... but still alive now!! seems to be active and ok!! amazingly.

now, since i got it, i have not seen it eat.
its supposed to be a pig,cos where i got it from, it was eating sinking hikari pellets.

how do i entice it to eat?

itried fresh prawns and sinking which are the two stapes i want it to get used to
the smaller senegalus in the tank with it, about 2inch max is eating like a maniac!!!
 
try bloodworms? maybe bored of pellets lol
 
Try frozen bloodworms and feed it after you turn off the lights at night.
 
IF it is in fact healthy,then its just stressed from the jump.
leave it be and it will eventually eat whatever you give it.
