Hi prm, I have had my tig for a few months and he is doing great as you can tell!!

!!Some tips I can give is start with small feeders, but not feeders just bought home from the LFS, I would keep them in a seperate tank and feed them for a week some very good goldfish food like hikari food, then only feed your tig the heathy ones its called gut loading your feeders, remember what you feed them is what your tig will be eating! mine would get two small ones every two days and now are on to 1 big and 1 small feeder every other day temp bout 80 - 81 and very strong filteration they need very clean water and good areation!!
Hope this helps!!!!!
