My Tigrinus thread

Do the aro and the ATF get on with each other?

Been offering food with lights on, lights off, all different types of food, pellets, frozen and live and the only thing he’s eaten is a couple of danios I had in their the first night I got him.

Water perimeters are
Amo:0
Rite:0
Rates: 15ppm

Haven’t got a test for oxygen? But I have a load of surface agitation and a bubbler, the tank is a 30g he has to himself for now and it has 2000gph flow

Aro and ATF are good together, just have to keep trying.

Cool that means I don’t have to choose between them yea he’s still quite chunky for his size it’s just a bit worrying it’s been over a week and he’s so small

Just keep trying to get it to feed. Ig you have to get some type of feeder fish but if he is not thin give it a few more days try shrimp tilapia and worms.

Yea I’ll just keep trying, I’ll post on here if anything changes

I wouldn't worry I'd say two weeks of starving and then you can succumb if you'd like. I'd personally go longer.

I wonder if it has any parasites keeping it from feeding? Have you treated it at all?

 

[monsterkeeper87]

I always treat all new fish with eSHa2000 but that’s more of a broad spectrum bacterial treatment, he’s eaten some danios that I kept just to keep the tank cycled on the first night I had him so he is physically able to eat, what parasites would you reccomendvi treat for?

I’m not versed well on most parasites but I usually treat with paragaurd from seachem. It’s a broad spectrum for parasites.

I’ll see if I can get some, thank you

He’s finally eaten!! I’m so relieved, he’s eaten a load of bloodworm and had a good go at a massivore pellet! 11 days without eating but we finally got there. Thank you all for your help
