Gymnotus pedonopterus (Zebra Knifefish) feeding

[mattmez]

I have an opportunity to get a true zebra Knifefish and I am worried about feeding it can I ween it on to pellet or do I need to feed it something special I have hikari sinking pellets now

I have a bgk and I honestly don't know what it eats. I do know it shows up after frozen blood worms are fed, but I doubt it gets any. its growing well but its got multiple opportunities at different foods I feed tetra granules, hikari sinking for bottom feedera, hikari carnivore, wardley shrimp pellets, and zucchini. With the zebra try feeding at night if you absolutely worry about it feeding. I have current satellite + lighting and use the red setting when I feed after dark. After a while once they learn the food they will come out in the light for it.

I have a tiger knife and he does only eat at night and the diet consist of small earthworms, frozen krill, frozen blood worms and frozen black worms. give those a try.
