GATF Pellet Training Question

[sashimimaster]

Mine only would grow teeth if they ate good. New teeth usually come in after a good eating spell and growth spurt.

Ok. That rules out teething. Nibbled at some jumbo freeze dried krill as suggested, but still spit it out rather than ingest it.

I used to have a GATF (6 inches) and took me 2x months to get it eat pellets with tinfoil bards as teacher fishes, after first 3 weeks it's turned on those barbs and killed them all and ate half their bodies. I waited for few days later and added 3 more tinfol barb bigger in size and around 4 weeks later it started to chase tinfol away to get its share of pellet stick. Beware that some GATF will never accept pellets so it's your call to give it what its wanted or seeing a dead GATF good luck, buddy!

Thank you Jesus! Success at last. Congo ate several pieces of Hikari Floating Jumbo Carnisticks today!!! I AM SO HAPPY!!!

BTW-that was day 20 of starvation period for reference.

Cheer!

 

[sashimimaster]

There you go! You Won! Lol

Now don't feed anything else. If you feed live you will have to go through this same process all over again.

congrats on taming your tiger lol

Thank you everyone for your support. It was nerve racking to say the least.

I will NOT be feeding anything other than the jumbo carnisticks.

I am assuming even when he is a giant, he will still eat the carnisticks, just much more of it.

Thank you all again.
