Paper Thin

[Tom500]

Let it see the feeders. Then drop in one feeder and then try dropping in a piece of shrimp after it finishes the first feeder and is looking for food again.

If hes eating frozen if just feed loads of that, but an odd feeder or two wouldnt hurt at this stage

He's the odd one

back before I sold my ST...

The ST and a smaller IT eat frozen prawn every other day, but this one just wouldn't dig in...

and my green arowana just snatched a feeder away >.>;;;

Is the thread that it only eats frozen food and not pellets? If so just feed the poor thing-its not worth losing it over

just train it to eat prepared foods... dont be a slave for your pet... show him whos the master... just have alot of patience and eventually it will give in... its much safer to feed them prepared food than live foods... you never know if the feeder you gave him has no illness what so ever...

but like what other said 1 or 2 feeders wont hurt then after that back to the training mode... its much easier and cheaper in along run if youll get him to eat prep foods.

My NGT is doing the same thing at the moment. It used to chomp down at shrimp like there's no tomorrow. I think it hasn't eaten anything in a month and is already thin but not paper thin.

I say if its bigger, like my NGT which is 8-9", don't give in and let it starve. It will eventually eat. If its 5" or below though, try to give it what it wants. Give it to him once every three weeks. Three weeks of fasting shouldn't kill it. Just continue with that and see if it works.
