Cheers guys. I’ll do periodic updates - it’s only a baby at 6cm so I’ll have to try and boost its growth as quickly as possible. Can I get some tips from yall please?

Pieces of pellet food and small pieces of fish. The most important of all is water changes preferably 50% weekly.

It’s absolutely refusing pellets at the moment so I’ve had to get tubifex works for it. Should I try brine shrimps? Will note on the WC.

Keep offering the pellets even skip a day before feeding anything. Also it may still be adjusting to it's new environment.

You can try soaking the pellets in a defrosting bloodworm cube for a little bit before feeding. That's how I converted my rope fish which were the longest hold outs for pellets.

as far as growth nothing beats tilapia what I do is throw a fillet into a food processor and that makes it easy for even the smallest poly to tear off a piece
