I rescued a abk from my LFS and I didn't get him to eat for the 2 months I had him. It was sad to watch.

Did he die from starvation..? I never feed live food..but when i first brought my ck home at 4 inches.. he would not eat anything but live... coming from the wild it is hard to change them as babies... i fed guppys and when he got bigger and stronger i started weaning him off.. and now theres not a fish in the tank he would bother except if they took his cichlid pellets... :D

I tried convicts in the wriggler stages, bigger convict fry, earth worms, 3-4 different frozen meats, live brine shrimp, pellets, shrimp pellets, tubiflex worms, flakes, veggies. Literally everything I feed my other fish. I just had no luck whatsoever. It sucked.

There was major stress going on by the time you rescued him... thats all...not anything you could do...or he already went too long without eating and was sick... yes it does hurt when you try so hard to no avail..
 
220 update. well its up and running, bought a little 3" green sev :D the only one in there.............till saturday. im gonna wait to put tica in untill i pic up the big male. maybe if i put them in together they will be chill with each other :ROFL:
 
i would have to suggest not putting in a few big ck's, possibly one thats big enough to not get killed, i just picked up a 20" that had been in with another 20" and they were both beat pretty badly and the other one died. usually it would have been fighting each other but they were beat up by a 9" fahaka puffer. would have to say one of substantial size would be alright but not more than one.

i would go along with that... one is enough.. if they grow up together in big tank maybe.... but otherwise could be trouble.
 
i believe fahaka's are psycotic, lol, a little worse than devils beleive or not. but im still juggling some ideas. what about rays? big no no? oh and heres the one tiny inhabitant of my 220. itll be moved to the 30 on saturday.
