Just got my Silver Aro...He doesn't seem too hungry though

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Again...I know that I just need to get him to eat the sticks...but damn. I haven't seen him eat anything. He definately ate some juvenille swordtails over the weekend, but they are gone now and he does not seem interested at all in the sticks. I started out putting in a bit and then scooping it out ten or so minutes later, but my dojo loaches and plecos have realized that there is floating food and now my bottomdwellers come up to the top to grab the sticks...which is fun to observe. God I love dojos. Anyway...I digress. I was wandering if he was having a hard time spotting the sticks, considering I have two air pump outlets that cause the sticks to collect on the sides of the glass, or if the other guys eating the food was in any way a deterent to him. I could be way off. I just don't know, and I haven't seen him eat. He seems fine and healthy, and I know they can go for extended periods of time without eating, but I worry because I don't want anything to happen to my little monster and I know the younger ones need to eat a little more often than a full grown.

Any thoughts?
