Maybe 6 or 7 inches. Previous owner was feeding him live. He'll have to starve for a while longer since i wont over live
You may be waiting a long time to break it onto pellets. I have one 8 inch NTT that’s been in with 10 indos and 5 NTTs all of which ate pellets and it’s just now forcing itself to eat some pellets after 1 year. Earthworms and ghost shrimp may help you get it onto market shrimp.
Oh im not even thinking about pellets. Im just trying to get him to take some tilapia atm.
Ahh.... it’s easier getting them to eat market shrimp if you wanted to feed that but if not you’ll definitely have to starve it for awhile to get it on fish fillets. Some take to it easy while others will hold out to death.
Yep,most dats love shrimp! I used to cut them into small chunks and shove pellets into them before feeding to my dats.
You know what you guys bring up a good point. My it 1st took to shrimp then tilapia and pellets not long after
