Gars off feeders?

[channarox]

^ Yeah that was my thought.

CK's are nocturnal, gars diurnal. Feed the CK at night. Not when the tank lights are off, because room lights will be enough for the gars to hunt by...feed in the pitch dark, with all lights off.

IME once the knives learn its food,theyll eat whatever whenever.
so the night rule doenst apply anymore.

exactly, to the post you were quoting, gars are actually crepuscular and more nocturnal than diurnal...but none of that matters in captivity as the fish will be trained to feed when they are usually fed. doesn't mean they won't eat at night if a meal is swimming around.--
