up up :) This Lap still does not want Pangasius fillet :(
any tips on training him to accept this new food?

wow U guys have pangasius fillets? awesome!:popcorn:
 
I tired to augment my bichirs bandage again, the congicus and endli ate like pigs, the lap got excited, but he just smelled the bandage in foreground of him, afresh abandoned it again.
 
i own 2 lapradeis.. i feed them no name brand pellet every day and they love it. its the same type of pellet i give to my koi and goldfish. just my 2cents. :)

thanks :) Wish i can get mine to take fillet first, then i'll try pellets :)
 
At first my Lap would barely move and not eat anything. Now hes a pretty active guy. He usually eats massivore pellets, frozen Shrimp, all different kinds of bait worms, and now today I fed him chunks of raw NY strip loin steak. He loves it.
 
^ agree

At first my baby lapradei would only lie at the bottom waiting for sinking pellets to fall. I switched to floating pellets (Hikari foodstick) and he has been more active since he now know that food don't fall from the sky anymore. Now he swims around the tank, at all 3 levels.
 
wow thanks, Maybe i'll try floating pellets.
I fed my bichirs with freshwater sardines and May Lap ate 2 pieces.
Hope his appettite will pick up .
 
My lap loves freshwater sardine, but I want him to take pangasius fillet as it smore accessible. tried feeding him this, but he just seems to sniff at it then leaves.
My other bichirs finished all the fillet. in your opinions , can i get this lap to give in with a week of trying only to feed this food? i also ran out of freshwater sardines already.
