new baby black aro

[jp80911]

just picked up a new black aro on Monday, but it hasn't been eating. it's about 2.5" - 3". I've been trying with hikari frozen bloodworm but no luck at all.
how long can they go without eating at that size? my last one ate like a pig just one day after I got it..should I be worried?

nope. give him some time to settle into his new tank.

Should eat within the first couple days. Better to use freeze dried blood worms, they'll float for awhile expanding the window of oppertunity for your aro to eat.

Is this one from the same guy you got the other one from? I saw he had gotten another shipment of them in.

yea it's from the same guy. most are sold already.
I just saw it ate a few piece this evening, hope it'll turn into a eating machine soon.
