hey. which shop u got him at caz im looking for them too in queens? do they have anymore indos & how much? anyways, i have 7 NTT dats n one indo dat n 2 AT dat. best way to start them off is with small feeder fishes, yes there might b diseases in feeders, blah blah blah... but they will eat them for sure. most of them are caught from the wild. i started all my dats w/ feeders n then introduce them to dried shrimps, bloodworms.
if u wanna trade for NTT w/ ur indo, lemme know caz i have too many NTT. they might bann them soon in the stores. :-D

Right, almost 6 weeks and that fussy 5 inch IT still not eaten prawn. This is roughly when they give in. So hopefully the next few weeks. He still does not look thin or jn a bad way. Amazing fish. Just proves a healthy dat can easily go 6 weeks with no food.
The small IT just starting eating bloodworm.
All I feed is a mix of prawn, bw and pellets.
again: no live food or back to square one.
they had some at blue gold but they only have ntt's left. not willing to part with my IT. i have 4 ntt's as well now, would you sell any of your ntt's are they stable?
i want to add a stable dat and try the follow the leader method with mine
Yup time, i dont even try feeding any larger new fish for at least a few days. Getting use to the new tank with as lil stress as possible is my main concern. I think he will come around in no time. Good luck.
wooo hooo! last night the first dat i bought ate a passing piece of frozen krill and one of the new ones followed his lead a snatched a large piece. today i didnt feed again until 2pm. the dats seemed to be waiting to eat. all of my dats ate frozen krill. the largest one witch is my oldest one didnt eat a bunch but a couple small peices. looks like their settling in slowly but surely. needless to say im stooooooooaked!
