Datnoid Growth?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
tried feeding mine bloodworms and beefheart but wont take it. He ate a little bit if dried krill. He also staying on the corner kinda to his side. Is it because hes stress? or scared of my arrow since my arrow is about 9 inches. and hes about 3-4 inches.

mines not eating either. maybe our whole shipment is still stressed from the ride here?

but he has gotten alot better, he's out all the time, and swimming around w/ my other fish. i just need to get him to eat.
 
it's a time consuming thing. they wont starve if you force it on them day after day.
 
dont want to lose mine. want to grow him out to be a true monster
 
Datnoids are very slow growers. It will take a few years to be considered a monster.
 
all 4 of my widebars have become statues. theres something wrong all 4 hide now.. i though atleast 1 would swim around.
 
Datnoids do not seem to do what we expect them to do. There is no sure shot or rule to get them to show off but I have gotten mine to stress less when I have lots of decorations and plants (artificial). The hide anyway for about 7-14 days. They eat during that time but not prepared foods. Some will take live blackworms but some not. I always feed them feeder guppies or rosy reds as wll as feeder ghost shrimp during their first week with me. After that, I start with krill daily until they eat it. Some hold off more than others but eventually they will eat.

Good luck with them and don't worry too much because if they came from Wes they will be in top shape.
