[Lepisosteus platyrhincus]

[Lepisosteus platyrhincus]

oh and im glad im not the only gar aquariumist that has a problem and thinks its unnessesary for starving to 7 months.

If you can't properly feed your Gar then please give them to me so I that I can ensure they are fed on a regular basis.

Where did I say that I starved my fish for 7 months?

 

[Lepisosteus platyrhincus]

mine went 7 months when I was trying to get mine to stop eating live feeders, they are still alive and kicking with zero health problems.

then what does this mean??? i do believe that it interperrates as u starved them for 7 months

No, if you look at the words I used I said the FISH did not eat for 7 months, HIS doing NOT mine. You can lead a horse to water but you can not make him drink is a proper expression to compare the situation to.
The reason I made that comment was for two reasons. 1) not feeding will cut down on waste from food and from the fish, making water parameters easier to control. 2) Do not worry about not feeding during this time, no harm will come to the fsh, feed as you were once the condition has stabalized.

 

[Lepisosteus platyrhincus]

if u dont feed him what he wants to eat, then essentially ur starving him. if he wont eat what u want, then give him what he will eat. otherwise, U R STARVING HIM.
oh and they are almost all cured. the worst one still has a small amount of it, the rest do not. AND i feed them heavily during this time. i would rather them eat more, and get more nutrients than starve them so i can try and control water params better....
thats why we do WCs

Glad to hear your gar are doing better.

 

[piranhakeeper800]

ask your petsitters what they did to the fish to care for them
