[Polyaddict86]

I have a WC nigerian lap that i havent seen eat, its been 3 weeks now and i see him try but he always turn around even the food is in front of him,he probably eat when im not around cause sometime i see he have a big belly,

I want to know how you guys get them to eat??

For a really stubborn poly live Earth worms or red wigglers will usually get them interested, but if the food is disappearing and the food baby is forming you probably just have a shy eater

I had one that held out longer I did a water change then cut the lights out and fed and that was what broke it for me.

Lights out and live feeder mybe can help

My weeksii is a shy eater and did much better with feeding after lights went off.

Found the answer which is....patience and a little tilapia. Most bichirs can't say no.
