P. Gymnothorax Update

[West1]

Got 4 now, 10"-14." Eating FD krill, hikari floating food sticks, hikari floating cichlid bio/gold +, MP, tilapia. It's awesome watching these eels go to the surface to swallow food with their small mouths!!!

Nice! I been itching to get more but I'm at a stand still with the hobby.

They look great and getting thick. Finally picked me up a couple 10"ers. Hopefully they grow and fill out as fast as yours.

Nice. Hows the VATF
My guys are pretty beefy, I love to see them wrap around things. The wrinkles look pretty cool imo lol

10" Loach and 13-14" moray.

I can't get mine to eat pellets to save my life.

I had the same problem. But, I figured that since my morays ate market prawn, they would take FD krill. They did, immediately, then I added cichlid pellets and hikari food sticks at the same time, and they started taking all 3 as they lundged at the floating food. They have poor vision I believe, mainly smell out their food.

888- nice loach/moray combo. That CL looks very skinny, might want to feed more.

rlane- fish w/bad sight are scavengers (most at least), they will take to foods fairly easy. Feed the whatever you currently feed and after 4 days, starve them for 5 days. Im more than positive within that time frame they will eat whatever you toss in. Gl n keep us updated.

Hey West1:
Very skinny? How about that was a bad angle....and it's a bit slender instead? LOL. These large wild caught loaches are tougher to fatten up though, IME. Thx!!!
