New Tigrinus not eating

[blacksnow]

Got my tig 3 days ago, and still haven't seen him eat =O

The LFS had him for over a year, and claims he was eating frozen blood worms, and they would also feed him ghost shrimp occasionally.

I've tried frozen blood worms, and he doesn't even seem interested. Like not even a smell or a taste. During feeding time he just sits in the tank.

if your LFS has had the tig for over a year then it must be 12 inch +

blood worm is not enought for a tig that size

1 month without food is not a problem for a tig of 12 inch dont panic after 3 days

feed at night

try pellets hikari massivore or carnivore are the best

tigs are rubbish hunters you may need to throw food at it for the 1st few months

It's prob right @ 12" or so.

I have tried hikari carnivore pellets, and massivore delite. no success yet. will keep trying.

positon a small powerhead to blow food towards him. mine used to love chunks of raw shrimp . However he didn't excert much effort, he just wait for the current to blow the food into his mouth.
