Stacker's Tig thread

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Thanks. Positive reinforcement. lol. Really I need to chill.
Yup. Got it from Snook21. The shipping went great. The fish looks great on the outside. The tank is in great condition. I was ready to do this. Now to get him to 20 inches asap. J/K Want to see em big.

Edit: He did not show interest in the blood worms I set in front of him
 
I TOO RECEIVED ON FROM SNOOKN AND HE HAS NOT EATING YET, ITS BEEN ALMOST 7 DAYS. STARTING TO GET WORRIED..
sorry about the caps
 
He is in a 30 tall right now. Heavy filtration, always been on that tank. Added powerhead, 550. Got the bubbles goin. 50/50 on the rocks to open area on the bottom. There are two other cats in there that couldn't care less about him.
He has chosen to sit behind the uptake tube or the filter at the top.
He just seems to freak out now and then swimming like a nut.
 
Sounds like a lot of current circulating in there. Can we see a picture of the set up?
 
I will try to get pics up. Getting ready to fly out tonite. All the current is high. I have dead spots for him. He seems to be favoring the current tho. I tried to get video but I do not want to increase the lighting and disturb him more. I tiptoe by this aquarium.
I trie to sneak some black worms by him. I THINK he may have went for a couple but that was it. It was a very small pinch since I was afraid of waste.
 
Totally normal for him to swim like mad in current. Get some tiny feeders and leave him and all will be fine, this tig below was exactly the same as yours a few months ago, now look

I got a 3" Tig from John and I loaded the tank with feeder guppies 2 days later I started to see a bulge in his stomach, now switching to black worms just wanted to get him going
 
yup mine is taking feeders...black worms....and starting to take some shrimp....set up some cave or something and he will go right in there...then get the foos you want him to eat in there and he will take thats how mine is eating.....you just have to spend a long time getting him to eat i took like an hour just watching to make sure...good luck man
