Do you think its safe to starve a 4in Widebar?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i think all of them are STs. except the thin bar. should've grabbed the 10". he eats shrimp and krill. nice p/u. though.
 
very nice pickups man:headbang2 In my opinion the first one is an IT but the second is definately a widebar. Either way very nice fish.
 
that looks exactly the same as my indo dat i used to have or maybe mine was a widebar?! lovely fish with great personalities,i would use livefood for the first few days to a week and then try with frozen fish,cockle etc if he doesn't take it at first then tie a piece of cotton around it and drag it through the water to simulate a living fish,but you prob won't have any trouble as they are dead easy to get off of live foods good luck:D

I have never kept dats but I will suggest you do with them what other people have done. Fatten him up for a few days first on live foods and then try to starve him onto non-live foods. That way you at least know he had a good few meals before you put him under that kind of stress.

that's what i'd do to! it'll take it longer to get off live foods, but if it has to be done it has to be done
 
did you get them?
