I've had my Cobra for about 7 months and recently moved it to a 120 gallon tank. It's been in the tank for around a week and a half and hasn't had much of an interest of any type of food I put in the tank ( pellets, shrimp, krill, blood worms, flake). Any suggestions on what I should try besides cheap feeders from petsmart? I have noticed that the fish is moving a lot of sand if that signals anything, It thinks it's a geo lol.
 
It's probably still settling in. It should take all that food, but it may take a little while. I wouldn't worry about it for a couple weeks.


on another note, welcome. where did you get the Tapajos II and do you have any pix?
 
It will eventually eat. Sounds like pouting about the move. Let's see some pics!
 
Ya I hope it starts eating because it's my dads baby and he's been real worried about it lol. I'm at school right now so I'll take some pics tonight. It has already gone through the juvie stage about 4 months ago( awesome coloration ) and is starting to turn red on the bottom of its stomach. Its not that red though so I think it might be a male?
 
does it have a white edge on the dorsal and how big is it? I'm assuming it's a teenager and it probably wouldn't be mature enough to tell that way. where do you get it?
 
The pike is around 11-12 inches long and it does have a thin white stripe on it's dorsal fin. I got the fish a long while ago from a lfs called mike's killer fish.

How exactly do I post images to this thread?
 
I figured it out! For some reason the attachment button wasn't working while i was doing a virus scan.

These pics aren't that great but I did my best lol.

it's hard to tell w/o a good shot of the dorsal (at least for me). but, if you say it has a white line on the dorsal (which I think I can kinda see in a couple of the pix), then it's a female. Mike's was the best place, too bad he had to shut down. I got a mislabeled sveni from him just before he shut down.
