So i bought a jardini 4 days ago. Since then I havnt seen him eat. He seems happy but will not take food. I tried bloodworms, pellets, krill and theres atleast 100 guppies in the tank. Any help?
 
Try crickets it the one food that aros never have to be trained to eat. I don't know about the 100 feeders. They can't be good for your water quality.
 
Mine did the same thing, it will take him a week or so then try Super worms. After that he will eat EVERYTHING!

I was freaking about mine for the first week or so but he eats pellets and raw shrimp now.
 
Yeah try crickets. I started out with 8 jardinis in separte tanks and man they love those crickets. After awhile they will get huge appitites and eat other things like krill, frozen shrimp. I have some Jardini that will take pellets and some that don't. They are now eating pellets, frozen shrimp, beefheart(treat not all the time, like once a month) catfish nuggets, tilapia chunks. Remember the more they eat the faster they grow.
 
My jar wouldn't eat, at least when I was watching. I tried the red blood worms. They come frozen in small cubes in a blister pack. They are expensive. he went nuts over them. I got a huge carton of blood worms. they were frozen and heart shaped, and dark color. He doesn't like those very well. He eats some and spits out a lot. I don't know what happens to the ones he spits out. I guess they drop down and rot.
