As thread title states I got a monster polleni yesterday and his beautiful (pics will come tonight)
Basically I plonked him in with my two almost as big oscars; at which they started harrasing the polleni. 5 mins of harassment goes past and the polleni snapped and proceeded to give what looked like both oscars a quick bite then rip just above their noses. I gave my friend the oscars as I wont have got my 6x2x2 up and running before the polleni ripped the two oscars new *******s.
His been in for 24 hours hasnt eaten* a thing despite me teasing him with my whole variety of pellets/frozen goodies. He swims around when im not in the room but seems to sulk when I come to watch him in his glory.
How long will it take a mature polleni to relax in his environment? I've herd that bigger polleni are picky with food.. do I keep trying to tempt him till he eventually eats? Should I stop worrying?
*(saw him taste test one single hikari carnivore pellets last night)
On a side note since the oscars were taken out of the tank everyone seems to have coloured up and calmed down bigtime! I was thinking there was something wrong with my mature JD's as they were always washed out now they're blowing me away with the deepness of their blue/gold/black, not to mension theyre actually adventuring again as opposed to sitting in a cave all day.
Thanks in advance and will post pics asap tonight.
