Howdy ho! This is my first post on this forum and you guys gotta let me in on some hot secrets. How the hell can I get my Campbelli to eat pellets? Or any freeze dried goods for that matter. He only likes live feeders and spits out any
thing else I try. I've tried worms and bloodworms and pellets and some other
misc. things. I've got him in with an P. Endlicheri, Gold saum green terror, 3
C. Sajicas and a 16" hypostomus. Only after I put in the greedy cichlids has he even tried pecking at dead stuff so I have hopes. Gimmie some info, I'm all
ears. [my indos are like the same. only bloodworms and maybe some tublifex and the rest is spit out] Thanks you all!
 
If you got him recognizing that pellets are food and he takes them but hes spitting them out, your more than halfway there. All you have to do now is to starve him till he eats. Of my dats my NGT's were the most stubborn and it took them nearly a month before they ate MP. Be patient, let us know how it goes and :welcome: to MFK ;)
 
My silvers eat pellets.

My Indo's and my NGT eat only frozen.

Try finely chopped mussel and krill. Should do the trick.

Or, as said, go the starvation way, and insist on pellets. Will get there, eventually...
 
f:D rozen krill.....thaw it out in water and pour it in .....to duplicate a moving feeder............works for my ngt,ntt........
 
Yeah. I'll get some pics up but I need to configure the pic size first. I'll try some frozen krill before I starve him. Hmmm. Maybe I'll do the same with the Indos. Thanx!
 
fav food for NGT is blood worm NGT have smaller mouths than other tigers so blood worm is fine

just starve him he may go 1 month without food dont worrie 1 month is no problem
