View attachment 1434553Spits out pellets but would eat freeze dried gammarus.
Seller said its a Kamfa F2, what is kamfa F2 mean? Thanks
F2 just means it's a second generation. As for the eating part don't be too worried yet. Sometimes it takes a fish only several minutes to 2 weeks or more to start eating when placed in a new environment. Personally I would starve him for a few days before trying to feed again. Once it's gotten a bit hungrier it should be more willing to try new foods. The only time ya really need to start worrying is if it's been a few weeks since it's last ate. Most fish can go upto a month without eating so there's no real rush to get it to eat right away.

Btw lovely lil kamfa that ya got there. Great pearling, color, and flowerline it's got. Keep us posted on how this lil guy grows up, I'd be very interested to see how it'll turn out as an adult.

Thanks for reply, I bought it nearly two weeks now but the colour still dark.
It could definitely be natural colors. But at your LFS they may have a color enhancing flake or pellet food. I used it when I had mine and it looked awesome.good luck!
