Thought I'd show the difference. Bought them around 2 months ago at an inch length.

The bigger one eats the pellets and is always pretty near 100% stable. The smaller one won't look at pellets-hasn't eaten in at least 2-3 weeks and is always unstable but bullies the bigger one.

I do think I'm going to have to give it a small feed of bloodworm soon as I don't want to lose it.

I'm thinking of putting the bigger one in my 100G soon-has some Tigers up to 11" but also a 5" Nandus nandus & 8" channa panaw which concern me as to whether they'd eat the Tigerfish :confused:

Looking good rob.

Big one is nice. It should grow quite quick to 6-7 inch. Should be ok with the snakehead.
I thin u should wait 2 more weeks with the fussy one. If it still don't eat pellets by then, u could keep starving or offer prawns/muscle.

Thats what I thought Ade-its so stubborn at the moment. In the bigger tank my large Indo & NGT still haven't eaten in 5 weeks and are also showing no signs of taking pellets too
 
That's good will power. I stop starving once they start to look waifer thin. (nit quite that bad, but u know what I mean). It's weird but my 12 inch IT never even sniffed pellets for 2 years that I have had him. Then recetly I ran out of prawns ad all I had was massivore. After 2 weeks, he was so hungry , he just started eating massivore, and lots of them.

To be honest, I gave up starving 2 of my 8 inch ITs. They wouldn't budge and even after 7 weeks of not eating, they didn't look thin at all. Anyhow, 8 out of 10 of Tigers are pellet trained.
That'll do for now.
 
lol ill trade you for my 90% stable AT's lol. great looking fish and good luck!
 
thanks for the comments-the bigger one is now in the 100G. Looks tiny compared to the others but has settled in well and eating straight away. Is stable too which is a bonus!

The smaller one still won't eat pellets-gave it some prawn as it was looking thin but will keep trying to get it on pellets
