Snakehead and Pellets!
- Thread starter TLkmDN
- Start date
yesterday i got a channa melasoma or black snakehead, right now hes eating red meal worms, i think i have a good chance for him to eat pellets dont i?
my micropeltes is a foot long, I have had him/her about a fortnight and after only starving him two days have got him eating hikari pellets (not sure what they are called) but they have an arowana on front and are for carnivorous fish.
I had to throw them at the surface so they would sink and then suface to start with so they simulated movement in the water before he would eat them, now he is familiar with the pellets he will eat them when floating on surface.
I still feed him live feeders a few times a week.

yeh snakeheads are pretty easy to pellet train. this will save u ALOT of hassle in the future wen they grow large. its much easier to feed pellets than find live food every day!
I know of a guy who feeds his channa marulioides New Life Spectrum jumbo pellets.
He sent a vid to me of it... I'll try finding.

Hmm, I guess I've had bad luck in that dept. coz my channa's don't recognize pellets as a food source to be honest.
starvation usually works...like a week or so....however, if u keep them with other fish then DONT starve them! my channa micropeltes ripped apart a larger silver arowana even wen i fed them till their stomachs were bloated!!!

Agreed ,check my sig below all of these animals are pellet fed with only the occasional Guppy cull as live food.
P.S.
My wild caught group of Bengally Gachua now have a colony of Guppies in with them which they resalutely ignore in favour of pellets ,Insects and prawns, all from one deformed female dropped in there a couple of months ago.
