Ery Ery food?

[Cecropia]

So it's going on 2 weeks now and I can't really get my wolf to eat anything. I've seen him take a few pieces of beefheart but that's it. Been feeding before I go to bed.

I've tried NLS sinking large pellets, beefheart, rosy reds, and small goldies. He hasn't touched any of the feeders or pellets. He sure as heck tried to eat a juvie flowerhorn and my pike cichlid's tail.

Any ideas on what to feed? I figured the LFS had him eating goldies but after trying them a few days ago I'm out of ideas.

Might try some nightcrawlers.. Mine has always been a pig though, never had an issue feeding.

good idea hadn't thought of that. Forgot to mention I've used silversides as well and they get a nibble at night but nothing more

What tankmates is he with? Is he stressed? Mine eats sinking carnivor pellets, nightcrawlers, shrimp, tilapia, krill and beefheart.

He has tankmates but he's the brute of the tank.

He's been alone for about a week. Had the pike and the flowerhorn with him at one point (not at the same time). He tried to murder the pike and I had to move the pike. The flowerhorn tried to fight him and the wolf about ripped the lil guys face off so I moved him too. Water params are staying pretty decent.

Mine does not eat every day. But loves fish of different color. Try that, get some guppies see if that entices it to eat.
