krill, blood worms, brine shrimp.
bloodworms, brine shrimp mainly.. just about any frozen meaty food will usually be taken. Some will also take a HQ flake food high on the meaty side. If those fail, live blackworms. I would also avoid live fish, but more for the potential for diseases transmitted. My TT takes a variety of foods includeing guppies/mollies/platies That come from my livebearer tanks. I've also minced nightcrawlers finely, but it's messy and tbh downright gross.
I tried frozen brine shrimp and shrimp pellets. I live in kinda a small town so the petstore doesnt carry anything other then your extreme basics so I wouldnt be able to get any live worms or anything. I havent seen him eat yet. Iv had him for about two days now. I even put it right in front of him, hes not afraid of nothin and he wouldnt take it for some reason.
2 days isn't anything to be worried about.. have you tried frozen bloodworms? those should be available at your LFS. make sure to thaw it well, and add about 30mins after you turn the tanks light off for the night. They tend to be nocturnal feeders though once acclimated should take food during the day.
Well the brine shrimp is disapearing so he must be eating it. When I feed him I turn off the light now and leave by the time I come back in its eaten up ^-^
