SEVERE Starvation in RTCxTSN

[mshill90]

I have bought 3 Juranese cat's at about 3", and I am now down to 1. The first one wouldn't eat anything ever, the second one got all of his fins eaten off, so it was just his body left (don't know by what)- but this 3rd guy is doing well.. let's hope he makes it. He hasn't grown at all, and I've had him for months.

Yeah sometimes things just go wrong. Out of the 6 the petstore got in i have the only one that survived and is doing well and showing great growth. One of the other ones i got from them got ate by my RTC and the other 3 died at the shop.

What all are you feeding?

I am feeding plankton, beefheart, bloodworms, and he will occasionally eat NLS micro pellets.

I'm thinking I need to put him in a tank all by himself, and just let him pig out.

Well the big RTC eats 1 cup of shrimp or a tilapia filet a day. The TSN and hybrid have been eatind brine shrimp but the hybrid finally took pellets last night. I like the bloodworms the best but if u get the tiny slald shrimp at the store 2 pound bag for 5 buck and cut it up into smaller pieces.


Putting him in his own tank would be good that way he could get the the food easier. See my little ones are in my community and i have to put in so much food before enough sinks and they can get to it. Water changes suck on that.
