Siamese Tiger Microlepsis

[Monstaf1sh]

Hey guys,

Ive just recently bought a Siamese tiger fish (4cm) atm he eats mainly blood worms, i tried chopping prawn up into small pieces hoping he would eat it but almost completely ignored it, after realizing that was all that was coming it got some in its mouth and then refused to eat it. Will he eventually eat other things when it gets bigger?

Any advice in raising these fish would be great!
Cheers

dont worry about it. they are not very picky eaters. he will grow to eat MP. if anything, starve for a day or so and he will pick up the MP.

i feed mine BW and baby guppies.

feed it up on what it likes for a while then try starving it for a while and only offer it what you want to feed.

just starve them for a lil. mine takes really tiny pieces of smelt

sometimes as they get bigger they accept a bigger variety of food

Cheers guys,

i'll keep trying hopefully he wont turn out to be too picky.

Does any one know how this combination will turn out? ive got him with all other small fish 1 small Silver Arowana,1 Peacock Bass (monoculus), 1 Senegal Bichir and 2 plecos and 2 synodontis cats.

First time i have kept these fish will it work
