Help Chiloscyllium Punctatum feeding

[Justin_James]

How long is she? and how are you presenting the food to her?

she is 7 in. yeah the foods ive tried are,fresh frozen squid,krill, ghost shrimp, silversides.

Well your offering a good variety to start with but what I ment by saying "how are you presenting the food to her" is how are you offering the food to her? Are you using tongs, fingers, just throwing it in... etc, etc.... ?

 

[c1m1edgar]

i am using stainlee steel tongs and wigling under mouth.

Ok, well that a good thing, your doing it right. It will just take some time. Have patience and i'm sure one of these days real soon she will start eating.

Keep us posted on the progress and as a final option you will have to force feed her. It's a delicate task though. Scott Michaels book, "aquarium sharks and rays" has a great section in there covering it.
