Me and a friend of mine (Twistedf4i) just got 2 small Asian RTC's any idea what to feed them? i dropped in a few blood worms and they did not go after them maybe ill try again tommorow, but what are some other options going about feeding them
 
only asian redtail i ever had was mean as heck...... would bite your hand if ya tried to pu it in the tank for any maintenence... i ended up giving him to a guy in my town that has a small inddor pond in his entryway... now he is pretty damm big and even meaner there is a sighn above the pond thats warns of him... but they should be able to be fed most anything from sinking catfish pellets to shrimp or any other fresh prepared food
 
It may take a 2 to 3 days to for the fish to settle in before they start feeding well, just give it time. Also like rottbo said, they should accept most food.
 
i had same problem before with my silver arowana before... i just add a ph level up for 7.0 to-7.6 and add a little marine salt to calm it down. it ate crickets after 4 days from the shop.
