MY CHACA-CHACA NEED HELP

[Gnuhen]

hey vincenwp... Which part of Malaysia r u from... I think i can help by coming 2 ur place... (If its near 2 my place..) How big is Ur Chaca??....

I read an article that Chaca's eat slow bottom dwelling fish. If the fish stays middle or top of the tank, and is fast swimming the chaca wont go for it. So maybe try and get some fish that stay low to the ground. Because this fish usually stays still and waits for fish to get near it before it eats them.

ha-ha-ha...koi's left 4 onlyguppies still left 17...

Thats great to hear. I dont know if he will get the guppies, they are too fast and dont really stay close to the ground. This may be the reason theres still guppies. Try to find something ideal that stays close to the ground and moves kinda slow, this will make it more likely the Chaca will get food all the time. Also, to be really safe, ask the place you got the Chaca from what it ate. It could be useful information you can use. But thats nice its eating now.

Get all the uneaten food out oif the tank. Do a 50% water change. Add black worms and guppies, its the only way

We have a ton of chaca's at the shop i work at and all they will eat is ghost shrimp, guppies like alex said
