Sup guys haven't bought a lotta fish recently so I haven't really logged on to contribute. Today is the 2 yr mark since I bought my first NTT which I'm proud to say is a whopping 10.5" haha. Weened this first guy off live in 2 weeks and onto massivores after 3 @ 4" no lie. So I decided to pick up a new one today. He's smaller than when I bought the first one at barely 3" but he was smashing down feeders hard at the LFS so I decided to take a shot since he seemed healthy, wasn't breathing heavy, and the gills weren't inflamed. Do you think its too soon to be weening him off live? He's voracious when it comes to feeders but I'm not sure if he's too small to be hitting MP/pellets yet. Opinions/concerns?
 
I don't think it's too small, I've done the same with 2" dats. I tried pellets and only one took to them, the others all started to take frozen food and market shrimp fairly quickly though.
