trying to feed midas krill

[midasman714]

so i bought some hikari freeze dried krill last night and try feeing it to my midas. he doesn't even try going for it. then i dropped some pellets in and he takes them down w/o hesitation, carefully eating around the ONE peice of krill

is there a trick to getting this guy to start eating krill? and i've left it in there overnight, should i take it out before it pollutes the water?

mine eats it i dont think he likes it so much but he eats it. you shouldnt leave it in there to long. i fast my fish on sat and sunday keeps them active. might try to that then feed it to him on monday.

dont feed him for two days then give him just the krill thats how i got mines to eat it

 

[midasman714]

great ideas. i think i might try that as hard as it is to intentionally starve the little beast for a couple of days.

its actually good to give them a day without food. it is hard to ignore them though. i hate seeing mine begging at the top of the tank all day on fridays

well the krill that i was suppose to remove when i got home from work, dissapeared. not sure if he ate it or if it sank b/c i tried putting another one in and its floating as we speak.

most krill will sink and most likely he wont eat it if your watching mines only eats when im not in the room he a lil shy

tryed all kinda tricks mine still wont eat it.

Try starving him a cpl of days then give it to him again.

My GT did the same thing, but then that's all i fed him for about a week until he started eating it. Now he eats both.
