How do I get a dat off live?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
^,

Just dont give in.... they can go for a month without eating.... though i guess you can try to starve him for two weeks at a time or try to give him feeders so that you have confidence that he ate something before you starve him for a longer period....
 
SUCCESS!!!!! My dat officially digs market shrimp. He saw one of my black ghost knives munchin on a piece and promptly stole it from him. Thanks for the advice, good luck with yours. Patience truly is a virtue.
 
Are you serious? Today is the same exact day my dat accepted market shrimp as well! He saw my red devil eat it and snatched it from the mouth of the red devil. I believe this is a sign of progress. I guess this is a good day to teach a dat to eat MP lol
 
Glad to hear it! I'm still wondering if my dat only took the food cuz it was being jerked around by another fish looking like it was alive. Even still, like you said....progress. I'll come back and post after another attempt tomorrow.
 
My dat nipped at a piece of shrimp today, but again it was just because it was being jerked around by one of the ghost knives. It seems to have no interest in the shrimp until another fish starts to eat it first.
 
you are not starving the fish he has food if he wants it

this is were people go wrong they give in after 3 weeks

they nearly always give in after 4-5 weeks with 6 w-8 weeks being the longest

you have been given the advice if you don't want to take it why ask in the 1st place

:confused: I AM taking the advice, and it seems to be working. I was just giving an update so the OP and I can keep track of eachother's progress. You must've misinterpreted my post.
 
sorry bad day

its not cruel to offer any food you want any fish to eat

i know it seam like a long time without for 3 weeks but its the only way

if you give in and put 1 feeder in the tank you will be back to stage 1
