Hey!

I bought this endlicheri 4 weeks ago. I haven't seen him eat anything yet more than one feeder fish.
I've tried with earthworms, shrimp and small fish pieces.
So is there anyone who might kno whats wrong?

He is most likely eating at night. Dim the lights or turn them off, and then you should see him eat...
 
x2 with the fishguy, he's probably eating at night when the lights are off.. also, try switching his diet.. bloodworms, beefheart, sinking carnivore pellets
 
x3!

My Ornate has grown quite a lot since I've gotten him, but I have hardly ever seen him eat.
 
mine seem to love frozen whitebait and sinking carnivore pellets...

i wouldnt recommend live feeders, especially in this early stage...get them used to dead foods will be much easier for you in the long run...not to mention safer and cheaper...

Also, u might want to check with the place u purchased the endli from, as to what it was they had it feeding on...

Hope that helps a little...

e.:D

hes probably eating when your asleep, if not i hope hes ok hes a great looking bichir.
 
Thanks!

I've tried with sinking pellets, but he doesnt show any interest. I've also tried with bloodworms. I'll try feed him at night. And yeah his a nice looking endy.. looks different in som way.
Thanks again!
