Beautifull fish with nice colors :) Your manny looks skinny but I'm sure he will put on weight in your tank :)

Yeah they all seem to come in like this but last week I watched him eat prawns so I'm hoping his appetite will continue to grow
 

His first video..
 
Thanks...

Anyideas on feeding? types of food and methods... My Rhom used to eat Whitebaite but only accepted food once or twice a week
 
My manny eats daily (or every other day from time to time). He eats smelt, prawns and raw fish meat. I tried go give him Hikari Carnivore/Massivore Pellets some time ago but he ate a little of it and doesn't want to eat it now. My rhom ate like a pig :)
 
Perfect water condition and a good powerhead. Mandatory water changes 30% to 60% a week. Also have been known to eat fruit as well. Never tried it myself but heard of this from people and books/publications. Have fun with your manny.
 
Have never kept a many, but I understand that they like a lot of O2 as well as pristine water conditions. In my piranha tank, I have a bubble wall across the back of the tank and an air stone in the sump.
 
Considering kick starting his appetite with live food first - fill and expand that stomach and appetite. Ive seen him eat prawns at the shop where I got him from but was wondering what the process would be to get his appetite up to speed - so to speak :)
