I have fed my Tig prawn, Tilapia and Night crawlers since 3 inches and never had an issue. He is now 7-7.5 inches. He started eating within 3-4 days.
Baby tig feed
- Thread starter Hondacrx2
- Start date
thats the size the problems start
they grow fine to 7-10inch then drop dead your fish your risk
but if you are given advice from someone who has kept them for over 20 years why not take it
+1^^^ heard the same thing. Never feed shrimp so I have no clue.

AFTER 12INCH THEY ARE FINE AND CAN DIGEST THE SHRIMP PROPERLY
THE NORMAL SIGNS ARE A LUMP INFRONT OF THE DORSAL FIN WHICH MAKES THE TIG LOOK FAT WHEN YOU KNOW YOU ARE AT THE POINT OF NO RETURN THE TIG STARTS SPINNING AND DOING LOOP
I LOST 3 TIGS THIS WAY WHEN FED ON SHRIMP BELOW 12INCH THEY GREW FAST AND FED WELL THEN STARTED SPINNING EVEN SWIMMING UPSIDE DOWN ONE OF MY TIGS WAS EVEN FEEDING WHEN SPINNING IT TOOK IT 2 DAYS TO DIE
SINCE LOSING THE 3 TIGS I DONE LOTS OF RESURCH AND FOUND THEY DO BETTER WITH LOTS OF AIR IN THE TANK WITH LOTS OF FLOW MINE EVEN STAYS IN THE JET OF ONE OF MY PUMPS WHICH PUMPS 18,000LPH AND NO SHRIMP COCKLE MUSSEL UNTIL THEY GET PAST 12INCH
SINCE NOT FEEDING SALT FOODS LIKE MENTIONED I HAVE GROWN 2 TIGS BOTH FROM 4INCH TO PAST 24INCH
THE TIG I HAVE NOW IS ABOUT 26INCH AND I HAVE HAD IT FOR OVER 6 YEARS
YOU MAY GET LUCKY BUT WHY TAKE THE RISK ITS ONLY FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS THEY GROW FAST
ALSO DONT POWER FEED UNTIL YOU SEE A BIG FAT BELLY
ooooops sorry for the caps i cant be bothered to retype that all
