How long do endli's last without food?

[andrewsin]

I have an endli around 14", eats like crazy, just switched him over to my other tank as he started eating my clown loaches. It's now been just over 3 weeks and he's still not eatin anything, how long can they last without food?

He was eating loads of massivores before, any suggestions what can bring his appetite back?

Thanks

Try some fresh food, like shrimp or earthworms.

Go buy some loaches. Sorry but I couldn't resist. They can go a while without food. I had to watch a friends for a while when it started causing issues in his sytem. It was about the size of yours. It didn't eat for 3 months, then started taking a piece of shrimp or smelt about once a week for the next few months. All of a sudden startes taking 3 smelt a day and exploded in growth. Gave him back at 22 inches cus I moved and sold my tank.

Better watch out because the CL's have the barb under their eye that will hurt the bichir

I believe that bichirs live without eating for a month or so. depends on the size. I heard from somewhere That a ropefish live without eating anything for 3 months!

I've been putting pieces of prawns in front of his mouth and he just doesn't seem interested, hope he eats and pulls through. Thanks guys for comments.

try to put some live feeders, and put the lights out at night, lets see if it will hunt for food..
