Taking fillets with gusto and working on pellets.
Tig settling in
- Thread starter gorak

Having tried raising 7 tigs (with varied success and none yet to over ~15"), I've noted that they can be unpredictable. Some would take pellets with ease and even ignore thawed fish in preference to pellets (and not Hikari and Co but modest, economical catfish farm pellets), others will ignore pellets seemingly to no end in sight until one day suddenly taking them.
I like to stuff fillets with pellets , Hikari sticks work well .. I also like to soak food in garlic.. that way anytime I change food type , they know to hit the garlic smell ..
It is eating. That is my main concern. The "it is cheaper" was ment as sarcasm...lol... I am going to end up feeding it along with most of my large fish like I have in the past. With whole frozen gizzard shad, minnows, sunfish, crappie and a few other local wild fishes I get. That will be the main staple and pellets tossed in as well to mix it up. The shad I get are filled with algea they are feasting on before I get them so they are very nutritious for my fish. My gars, rays and cats in the past have loved them. They are wild shad so I freeze them to kill anything harmful first.
