He's cool. Hates the flash but instead of swimming away he swimms towards it thrashing his head back and forth.

Yours hiding allot ?

Just found mine in a hidey bit he has dug under the wood. I turned off the light and target fed.
He ate two silver side heads then hand fed pretty much a whole one... Very happy I've finally seen him eat, completely un interested in pellets tho.
Doesn't seem that bothered by me banging about near him, I think like Viktor said they are light shy, I wonder if there's a light colour that they can't see or won't bother them?

That's cool. Yeah mine won't go near pellets. I've been making tilapia and NLS meatballs and it's been working.

I have a red bulb I'll try it and let you know how it works

I quite like the idea of a lone bufonis with a cave that's visable from the front panel, moonlight the tank and cave.
Activity with dimmed or coloured lights might still be non existent tho lol.

Yeah same pal, mine only eats if the tank lights off and the blind is closed...
Maybe they can't see red or blue who knows?
