i dont want to stunt his growth so i will definatly stay away from gold fish. last night before lights out he ate almost a whole night crawler it was a pretty big one to. so should i wait a couple days before trying to feed again or keep trying the shrimp a few times a day?? thanks for all your help

ummm lol are you serious, just be patient he is still getting use to the tank. keep doing the shrimp but wait a day or so. do not do feeders, stay away from GOLDFISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! unless you want to stunt its growth.

yo for real that gold fish can stunt piranha i neva heard that before :nilly:
 
has any one compilmented his fish in this thread yet?
really nice fish:)
 
here a direct quote from the most reliable online encylopedia on the net..

" Feeder goldfish are a popular choice for feeding piranhas, although they contain a vitamin B inhibitor that may stunt growth and shorten the fish's life span"


STUNT GROWTH AND SHORTEN THE FISH'S LIFE SPAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
i tried to give him some shrimp again today. he did the same thing again just attacked it as it was sinking then when it stopped moving he just swam away with no interest in it anymore
 
Thats normal, just keep offering him shrimp. He's not used to eating it but he'll learn it's food. My spilo did the same thing at first. What I did with mine was put a piece of shrimp in the tank for an hour then removed what he didn't eat. I did this once a day at the same time every day. Within 2 weeks that fish should understand it's time to eat.
 
ok thanks for your help. that is what i will do put it in the same time everyday and wait an hour. then remove the rest. thanks again
