i'm having the strangest thing happen with my neednose fish. i haven't fed it anything in a few days (2 or 3) and now i put a feeder fish in. he seems to track it but never goes to eat it. it's getting to the point the feeder can allmost go right up the mouth of the needle and nothing happens. can someone shed some insite on this. the needle look nice and healthy so i'm really lost. it's not like he's full because he hasn't eating in a few days.
 
thats really strange! well give him a week or so he'll come to his senses..
what feeder are ya using? guppies work well IME. it should be fine for now, those things can last like a month without food

where did you get a month? i've herd at most 2 weeks. and they are rosy reds. but small rosey reds. as for guppys he will do the same thing. also is it ok to leave a few feeders in the tank? a few meaning no more then 2. mostly just 1. want to make sure he's eating and all
