4 inch clown knife wont eat

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Sorry for your loss. I just got a clown 2 days ago he gobbled up some black worms. I'm not sure he cared for the pellets today. I'll try bloodworms tomorrow. I dont want to lose him.
 
Try small live worms, no tank mates and a dimly lit tank. Took me awhile to settle mine in but now he's hanging out with my T gar, catfish, AUL and doing great, spotted as can be and moves during the day finally :).

From what i've noticed its small food items and a tank that doesnt leave the little fellows feeling like they need to hide from everything that walks crawls or flies.

put them in a small tank first, i have a 4" in a 2.5 gal he eats blood worms, shrimp, chopped up super worms and shrimp..they'll eat alright they just got to have acces to the food...:)
 
I've always had success with BW.
 
Just got a 4 inch clown knife. He wont eat flakes, he chases tiny guppies, but never catches them. Any body have experiance on what to do? Thanks in advance for the advice.

i was in your same postiion

the bastard nevr ate food sticks on anything else for that matter, he did take guppies though

starve him
if you have other fish in the tank that eat commercial food he should get the idea soon enough.
 
got one of my CKs at about 6 in and he is 8 now and all he eats is Bloodworms, then got another (was told it was something diffrent, but in the past 3 days he has went from having lines to spots) and he eats bloodworms too, that prity much all i feed, got real lazy lol
 
my golden CK won't eat also and it eventually dies....he hasn't eaten for 2 weeks though...perhaps internal diseease or something...and he finally gives in...poor fish...and honestly i probably have a part of his death...coz i only feed him every 2 days or so..

he didn't want pellets and only wanted live bloodworms..
 
I have a little clown knife, I feed him with my dino eel a half cube blood worms every other night.. I hope he is eating.
