My tat doesn't really shed. I've had mine since August and he has only shed once. Conveniently, he loves small feeder fish and will eat goldfish grudgingly, so when he was shedding, I just fed him guppies which he would swallow whole rather than catch in his teeth.
New pickup with big shiny teeth!

Congrats on the new pick up - Nice size too. I wouldn't be too concerned with any issues during teeth shedding if anything pat yourself on the back for keeping them healthy enough to re-grow new teeth. Payara shedd and re-grow teeth that's the way it is.
What I would be concerned with is using a Payara to cycle the "New" tank. Payara are too sensitive to water conditions. Hopefully the new tank is already established. Best of luck!
Agreed and in my experience they seem to do better in the company of their own kind rather than singly.Mine wouldn't take pellets but loved raw shrimp and cut up fish.Otherone;4761747; said:
Thanks! I should not experience a cycle.....I am moving up to a bigger tank....My two filters, medium, driftwood, and fake plants are all moving up too. It should go down like a 80% water change!Otherone;4761747;4761747 said:
They only had one. So far it has not eaten and i do not use live foods....I am hoping the Red Hooks, cichlids and dats are good company.....i have seen no aggression in my 52 gallon....doubling the footprint should only help! I will keep an eye out for a another!!krichardson;4761796;4761796 said:
It's not unusual for tats not to eat for a few days after coming home.My first tat took down a nice apollo shark within minutes and all others afterward took up to two weeks before eating.Chefken;4762535; said:

Finally got a meal in him! My tank has some aggressive feeders.....It took 4 days but I got him to eat a thawed silverside by tying a fishing line loosely around its tail and dangling it in front....yesterday he bit but would not eat....today he swallowed it up. Very psyched!!
