i have a 6 inch leichartdi arowana. he ate smelt for a while. then one day he stopped.... and i put him in a 10 gal
and threw in feeders. and still wont eat. hes skinny as hell now.

ya its weird. i was telling kirk about mines. then he noticed that his wasnt eating too.. and but he got his fat off feeders after he noticed it. but mines wont take feeders either....

Give it time and check your water params

im honestly out of ideas on your lei tong. everything i've tried worked for me. 1 last thing i can suggest if you haven't tried it already is go to ur LFS and go to the frozen foods section, look for a 50/50 mix of mysis shrimp and brine shrimp. mine tears those up like crazy along with fd plankton. but i honestly dont see how ur lei wont touch feeders.

i can tell u 1 thing tho, feeders changed his personaliy already. he kinda chasses my baby indo dats but not really, jus shows that they have his attention and he darts towards them but turns away when he gets closer.
