I wish my TSN would start eating again. When I moved him from my 55g to my 75g 4 days ago he stopped eating. :(

When he was eating though, he grew half an inch a week on pellets!!!!! :drool:

He should be growing more than that a week. Mine would put on almost 1.5" a week. Throw some quarentined/gut loaded feeders in the tank he wont be able to resist live feeders.

I don't want him to get stuck on feeders.

BTW he is eating now. I just threw some broken up algae wafers in there and I guess he was attracted to the smell.
 
You shouldnt be feeding him algae waffers....they are naturnally piscivores and need fish as pretty much their whole diet whether it be in pellet or frozen form....try some frozen tilapia...mine would go crazy for it...bloodworms work good to.

I feed all my fish a varied/balanced diet. Algae wafers is just one of the 8 things that I do feed him, which also includes frozen bloodworms.
 
What else do you feed? Any big cat's diet really should consist of either massivore or the like....but preferably raw fish, shrimp, cockles, ect. Would be best. You can still give them a varied diet of raw...thats the healthiest bet IMO.
