my TSN has been acting weird. he has never eaten live food! NEVER! and he isn't very active, loves to not be seen, but when feeding time comes he gets active enough to eat whats near him, then back to the driftwood. im just curious if this is normal behavior for a TSN, he is about 8" maybe around 9" in a 125 growout. he will be going into a pond once the tank is to big.

i've always heard they are vicious fish eating monsters, and mine is quite cudly, he will eat from my hand only on days its pretty calm, and only moves when the lights are out, except to eat.
 
well he shows no interest in live, never has since he was just a baby (2.5") he will eat talapia fillet, market shrimp, flakes, pellets, earthworms, and sliced leeches. nothing with a pulse or he'll run from it. but he is pretty aggrssive, he just doesn't like to eat what he beats up.
