Please help, I purchased my tig when he was about 2" and he is now about 8" (not including his streamers). He is in a 125 all by himself. When I first purchased him, my concern was for him to put on some size so that he might not be as fragile, so I simply loaded the tank with rosie reds and gold fish. He constantly ate and grew quickly. The last month and a half to 2 months, I have not put a feeder in the tank. I have tried frozen silver sides, tilapia, massivoire and carnivore pellets and he hasn't eaten any. I tried all these after I have turned off the lights. He may have eaten one or two items in this time but I haven't seen him eat and the food is typically sitting on the bottom when I turn the lights back on in the morning. I am starting to worry about him. From past threads here I have read about how you can typically pellet train them in a week or so, figures mine would be the exception. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I am also growing out a tarpon and a BD ray in another 125. They are both growing very quickly and are eating like champs. Would it help to put the catfish in with them or keep him by himself? I would think that the ray would eat all the food and the catfish wouldn't have time to eat it.
