I've been a member here for a bit, but never posted anything. I mostly come to have a look at the wealth of information. I have to say that the information provided on this forum is great. Good job to everyone to contributes.

I only have one Monsterfish (so far)...it's a 3 month old RBP. He's swimming around all by himself in a 20G tank. I say "all by himself" because he recently ate his tankmate (Zebra Danio), which had been in the tank with him since the beginning.

In total I have four 20G tanks, three of which I acquired recently, they are housed in a furniture piece.....

I will be using two of these tanks to breed some feeder Guppies for my RBP.

So far other than the Zebra Danio, my P has had a meal of Two Black Mollies. I was kind of surprised at this because both of those mollies put together equaled the size of my P.....he ate them both the same night.

I can't get him to eat any Plankton or Blood Worm anymore, since he's tasted the real thing.

I also tried feeding him some Frozen fish that I had on hand, he nibbled and played with it, but didn't even come close to gobbling it down like the Mollies or the Zebra.

Any suggestion at what I could feed him until my feeder setup is ready?
 
well you could always buy a bag and just put them in his tank ti tide him over for a while.
or get some more zebra danios. i'm not sure how much they by you but they are only 78 cents by me.
more expensive than goldfish or guppys but will still work and look cooler
goldfish themselves might work. how big is he?
 
Right now he's at about 3 inches+.

I'm going shopping at the LFS tomorrow anyway, so I'll probably end up getting him some more treats to play with. I was getting dissapointed that he won't touch anything that's not live.

Thanks for the help
