long nose gar food
- Thread starter long nose gar
- Start date
how large is he? depending on size, u can starve him for a couple of days and try feeding him cut up market shrimp, or hikari sinking carnivore pellets
I just got my gar switched over to massivore and shiners...Massivore for the appetite, shiners for the chase.
If done right starving is not required...in fact the starvation method seems like a lazy method to me. I got my 10" longnose eating pellets and market shrimp within the second day of keeping him. Not all are this willing to transition, but given the proper conditions/approach it can usually be done fairly easily.
Yeah some gars take to it more than others, but starving is the shurefire way to deal with it.... eventually they will come around
my florida is being very difficult and only ate one chunk of chicken and one chunk of shrimp...i even tryed to tie a chunk of shrimp to a length of fishing line(loosely) and wiggled it in front of its face after a week and a half of no feeders and nothing...i gave in and bought it feeders yesterday...
