I didn't realize that you had two Sveni. My Lucius took to pellets right away. But he also loved to chase down live Ghost Shrimp with the Snooks.
Great set up Bill the fish look teriffic as well, hopefully the small guy/gal gets its act together. I love feeding my snooks as well I keep mine with a group of angels and they learned quickly to eat fast or starve lol I always add flakes so the angels are also satisfied. Great snooks require great water changes thats probably the biggest challenge with these future beasts. Your group should hit 9"+ by the end of the year.
Lol they're always hungry.
I don't have two, I have a sveni and a cincta. The cincta eats pellets but the sveni is stubborn. He only gets to eat twice a week on his current regimen.
Hey Ira, thanks again! I love these fish. Regarding the small shy one, I don't know why he won't eat. I'm going to feed some krill tonite, maybe he'll come out and get some. I do a 75% water change weekly, hopefully that will be enough to keep them healthy and happy. 9" by the end of the will be great...10+ would be awesome.
Thanks and yes. I sold him about three or four years ago to a guy across town. I wonder if he still has him.
The Snook were taking krill from my hand. The little loner I was telling you about wouldn't even eat krill, while the others went bananas over it. I fed some flake food today just to see what would happen and he ate three flakes...that was it.
dont beat yourself up over it bro, with a large group like that you'll always find a runt or bottom of the food chain
i know your not gonna let him get killed but it is natural for the group to bump off the weak. just give him time and he'll come around.
