Channa Striata not eating

[BenjaminFranklin]

Hello everyone

3days back i caught a snakehead (channa striata) in wild and kept in 5x2 feet tank....

Tankmates : 4 Peacock bass , 1 Red tail, 1 Alligator Gar

I have tried to feed the snakehead , but it is not taking feed....I know that it takes some time to adapt into aquarium.....

But please help me out, how to trigger it to take feed or any suggestions in snakehead feeds.

I cannot make him seperate , i dont have an extra tank, so im pushed to put him in community....

How to make him to take feed????

Help me out guys?

Hi,

What have you tried to feed? A wild snakehead would be used to live foods so may not recognise other food sources.

i have tried with Gold fish and molleys and chicken liver too.... no movement.....but how to train it to take other food source?

Give him some time, he still might be stressed
