hujeta pike
- Thread starter catfish
- Start date
I just picked up two little 2" hujetos at the LFS yesterday, they're eating feeder guppies like champs. Try small crickets too, they help acclimate them to floating pellets. Good luck!
.. and its easier to start training them early too 
Try finely chopped mussel,prawn and mussel,ours have never eaten live and we are always complimented on how rounded they are.Drop mixture a little in front to get it to strike.One reason for reluctance to eat is that they always do better in groups of 3 or more,it gives them security.They will not get any bigger than about 10"-12" no matter what you read.Try this site http://fish.mongabay.com/ctenoluciidae.htm
This is my one he loves chopped prawns and chopped muscles guppies but his favourite is a chopped mussel takes a while to get them on non live food but mine now prefers it to having to chase after its dinner my they are fast for what they are its quite amassing the size of prawn they can get down thee throat
is there anyting special to do to keep this fish the first one i bought died within 24 hours and the 2nd one lasted about 36 hours i dont understand why the only thing i cant think of is when i turned the lights out my p.senegalus might have tried to eat it since it was so small
