New Rhom help

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
it takes time for the rhom to settle in your tank, once it adjust from the wild wild amazon to a crappy tinny little glass cage it'll start eating.
it usually won't starve itself to death, during dry season in the amazon it can go a long time without food. is its back paper thin or has a reasonably thickness?
Have you tried food other than shrimp? I found piranhas (at least all my rhoms were) more interested in fish than shrimp.
way few more days, drop in a piece of tilapia fillet. turn the light off and leave the room. or feed right before you go to bed. usually it'll eat it or at least eat some of it depends on size.
you'll enjoy how it eats once it does start eating.
here's an old vid of my 6" feeding

nice size black rhom.
what happened to its lower jaw? are you treating with anything?
 
Yea I find too that black rhoms arnt to crazy about brine shrimp Also though it's go bananas for frozen mysis, both shrimp though.

Anything living too, Note it may not always eat the feeder but it will definitly severed it into a few pieces
 
My brother fed his rbp once a month he had a shoal of six fully grown fed them like 100 feeders a month pretty cool to watch lol so I wouldn't worry about him starving
