I have had this 6" Tig for a few months now, and he has been eating tilapia fillets, and froz krill. Now it seems that he does not like the tilapia anymore:confused:..He has not eaten in almost a week.:nilly: What do u feed ur Tig? I want to get him on a good diet, so he can grow nice and big.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
 
Not eating could be something other than just not liking the food offered especially if he was eating the same kind of food before. Check your water parameters out. Did the tank cool a little? Cooler water will cause the appetite to slow down. Maybe something else is going on.............

Nothing has changed in the tank since the Tig was put in..Temp and params r the same...I do weekly wc's..And I will do my usual 50% change tonight.
 
Hikari sinking wafers for catfish. And I don't know why the 2 love them so much, I didn't do anything special to get them to eat them. They still eat krill and silver sides from time to time, but at this point I think they would be perfectly happy with the wafers as well.

Do they feed from the bottom? Or do they swim up and eat? My Tig is hardly ever at the bottom of the tank. He was eating tilapia right from my fingers a few weeks ago..
 
Mine would eat feeders,shrimp,and earthworms.
