do gars know the size of their mouths? got col. silver that constatly gose for the bigger pices of food that dont fit in his mouth, but there are smaller ones that do fit in his mouth in the tank and he ignors them and trys to eat the bigger pices :screwy: talk about phsyco!
 
My gar used to eat food sticks. but one day i tried to feed him a large hikari gold pellet but it couldnt fit into his mouth. afterwards he wouldnt try to eat anything except for live feeders not even the food sticks i thought he loved. i tried starving him for a couple of days but wouldnt even touch it. grrr:swear: i guess i just gotta keep trying tho. just scared of starving him too much.
 
i had the same deal with my 8 inch gar. the feeder was was about 2 inches, and fat gold fish ones not the regular skinny ones. it was intended for the wolf fish but garry tired, he hung on it all night, tired a bunch of positions to fit it into his mouth but didnt work. after maybe 3 hours ( not sure it was around 3am ) he let go and the fat feeder was still alive swiming away.. nuts:clap
