hey guys , i currently have only 1 indo datnoid in my tank . size 5" . Only eats a small piece of cutted shrimp per day . is there any way to increase its appetite? And i intend to get some dithers , would a school of tin foil barbs be good ? Albino or Normal ? What size should i get ? , how many pieces is recomended ?
 
I prefer Silver Dollars, tryfeeding blood worms, earthworms, even sinking pellets..
 
How long u had it?
Good it's eating. I'm pretty sure he will eat more thelonger you keep him.
If u get TF u will have to feed loads more as they will get moat of the food.
 
Thats fine. When tigers are put in new tanks. it can takes many many months before they are feeding 100% and eatin as much as they can per feed.

Usually it can takle anything between 1- 3 months before they start "Hammering" the food. During this time, they will be eating spareingly, or just 1 a few pieces each feed.... like your one is now.

However ... occasionally, i get tigers that start eating quickly and within a few days/week, they are hammering food.
