Feeders does well with mines. Quarantine your feeders and its good to go. Guppies and feeder comets. The problem is getting it of feeders. Got him eating sinking wafers his small mabe about 8". Feeding is in the morning and right before bed.
With mine I just gave him rosie red feeders because I knew that he was eating them at the LFS. Within two weeks I had him off of feeders and on to cooked shrimp. I do agree that the next step should be bloodworms tho. I just have a hard time waiting with a fish that small for fear he will starve, so personally I would throw in feeders and try the bloodworms and hope that one of the two work.
i had the same problem so i went to the bait shop and bought some small worms and feed it to my tsn, it worked 
I had to start mine out on live and then when he was nice and fat i started to take him off live and switch to other non-live foods. By the way mine wouldn't eat anything that wasn't live when i got him, so i had to go feeders at first.
I had the same problem. Lfs was feeding him flakes, but he only ate flakes for a week or so when I got him, then didn't eat for a few days. Tried a few different foods with no luck, and then tried freeze dried blood worms. He absolutely loves them so problem solved.
Do you have a photo of your tiger shoval nose ? I am have the same problem but also I don't belive mine is even tiger I think they shipped me the wrong fish but others say it is a tiger that I just have to wait till he grows to see him evalv his colors what does your look likeHello,
Can anyone please give me some advice,My shovel nose @ 2.5 inches won't eat?I just bought him from my lfs on tuesday and since then i have'nt seen him eat anything.I tried feeding him krill,pellets and also tried dropping sinking pellets in front of him.what do you think i should do?shall i try guppies?Please help i don't want him dying.
P.S Thanks indavance.
Dude, you do realize that fish change appearance as they grow. That is a TSN I've had several over the years. For instance these two pics are of the same fish, not a TSN but you get the point.
