Clown Knife Feeding?????

[joeytoe]

Ok heres the deal, a few days ago I bought a clown knife about 6-7"s long.

he looks ok, however since then Ive seen him eat like 2 maybe 3 feeder comets an he seems to somewhat like Hikari Sinking Carnivore Pellets .

Ive had clown knives before an know that they are usually pigs an eat as much as they can. But i cant see why hes not going wacky trying to get the feeders, that are in the tank.

give him a few more days to adjust and see how he is then. Doesnt seem to out of the ordinary maybe hes just not as big an eater as your old knives.

Ya Im prolly just expecting him to have a huge appetite cause of his Size.

Thanks for the input.

 

[joeytoe]

He seems to like Frozen Krill, an his Appetite has increased a bit

Ok I'll try that as well, My light is on a timer so Ill have to get in there early or late or ill just turn it off to feed him.

Thanks

Daytime doesn't seem to make much difference either. If they're hungry then they will eat.

True lately Hes been comming out for food, I got him to eat a huge Nightcrawler today. It was funny as hell he was thrashing back n forth like a shark tearing a chunk out've a tuna. but he got it down in like 30 sec.

Yea like others have said, just let him get used to the new situation and he'll come around.
