Hi guys, I have a 12'' Indo that stays stable 24/7, eats nothing but pellets freeze dried krill, and anything else non live i throw in there, i feed him every other day most of the time, i also have another 12''er in a tank that has always gotten feeders, pretty much everyday; and hes black 80% of the time. i think it could have something to do with stability, but i find my indos and more stable and personable if fed every other or every 2 days
I have 6 thinbars and 4 Indos. Sizes range from 4-13 inch
What I do. I throw pellets in about 6-7 pm. Then between 10-12pm I do a second feed, so the fij that missed out on the first feed get a chance to eat. Those that miss food , tough luck, will have to wait till next dayfeed.
Usually I starve 1 day a week only.
Once a week I mix prawns with pellets as treat.
All but 1 tiger eat pellets (I mix the following in tub for maximum nutrition): hikarii massivore, carnivore, cichlid gold and crushed algae wafer.
Try not to overfeed or powerfeed as u won't do this to otter animals. When tiger is very full up they will rest at corner of tank and not move : just sit there and digest. Does it mean more unstable, No stableness is 50/50 with Indo.
The more hungry tiger is the more active it is and it will display and interact more with other tigers, therfore- will often make them more stable.
It can often take a while , usually 6 months to 1 year for a tiger to be
Comfortable, active and displaying in you're tank.

I feed twice daily and will be doing so until they all get some size then go once daily and eventually cut back to every other day.
