NGT not eating

[banesbane]

hello all,

I got an NGT last week after searching for over a year! I have not yet been able to get it to eat though. I feed mostly tilapia and massivore. Does anybody have any tips for converting them to dead/prepped foods?

You might have to feed nightcrawlers for a while to keep it fat and healthy. Eventually they usually start taking other foods on their own. It takes some time, I've had fish including dats, not eat anything but worms for months, and one day they just start eating everything.

Cool, good to know they take worms! I hadn't tried them yet
