long nose gar food

[Conner]

Try some tilapia fillet, cut into small enough chunks he can swallow them easily. Or try freeze-dried krill. Either way, try waving it in front of his face again, or just let the krill float on the surface for 15 minutes or so. If he doesn't eat any, remove it and try again later.

Does he associate you with food yet?

ya it does know i am the food giver along with my aro in the tank...i think the aro might make it shyer to eatting, cause when i go up to the tank the aro gets excited and the gar starts lookin for feeders but it don't eat the shrimp that gets past the aro and practicaly hits it in the nose...the gar sniffs every piece that goes near it but doesn't eat...i will have to get some krill and try that...
