My Leichardti barely eats =(

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
yup. mine and kirks came from the same batch. kirks is actually a lil bigger then mines. i think mines complelty healed now. back to eating everything it did be4. good luck on yours kirk.
 
yours is cool now tong? is it still skinny or is it filling in now? mine grubs on guppies and market shrimp cut small enough. if its to big he wont eat it. he still wont touch any of the other foods he used to eat. no more fd foods, no more pellets, jus frozen foods and guppies.
 
Well, my little buddy is back to his old self, he gobbled up 13 earthworms and 2 fingers (mine)this morning. I can't believe how wide he opened his mouth, he snagged 3 worms at once, tagging my thumb with the bottom teeth and 2nd knuckle on the same hand in one chomp! So he got called dirty names and then I had a good laugh. Looked like a kid with a mouthful of spagetti.
He'll even divebomb and grab them off the bottom of the tank!

Aro's rock!
 
uhmm... the white poo went away but it stopped eating smelt again... right now its only eating frozen blood worms. but its eating like crazy.
 
mine poo'd white for the first time, but i think it was because i was feeding shrimp? shrimp was white looking, poo as white looking, he never poo'd white before i fed that. when he eats guppies, he poo's darker color or whatever. he seems fine, very very active, and hungry. he's bein a prick. chasing everything now lol. but i think its cuz he's hungry and i dont wanna give guppies.
 
end of discussion, this leichardti eats everything now. from guppies, to market shrimp cut small enough, fd plankton, fd krill, frozen blood worms, frozen krill, frozen mysis shrimp and brine shrimp. nice n plump and finally putting on size. i should be movin himm back in the 150 pretty soon. i jus wanna fattin him up nicely for maybe another month or so.

The stop eating problem could have been from the transferring of it from tank to a new tank. Most aro have this problem. But once they're use to the new tank, they will start eating again.
