What does your Tigrinius eat besides live food

[gavigan1]

I havent seen my 6in Tig eat since I moved him into the big tank. I dont like feeding live food in my big tank, besides my Tig would have difficulty competing with tank mates for live food anyway. What do you feed your Sm. Tig besides live food. Any suggestions........

 

[ettfettbranamn]

just try the usual.. shrimp, fish, mussels, squid, bloodworms etc.. ?

Good suggestions but if those fail try earthworm,i know its still live but not in the sense as feeding a live fish,worms riddle so this might just stimulate his appetite. Ive had good results with peeled prawns with Tigs also,
good luck.

Black Worm's are a sure bet. I would feed live till 10 inches. JMO You can feed him with Tong's to be sure he get's the right amount.. gl

What a PITA but I do it cuz I love em. Trying to get mine on red worms. I try to sneak one in. He hits it but drops it just as quick. Oh. Mine is only 5 inches

I have a 15" Tigrinus that is really lazy. I feed him frozen shrimp, but almost hand fed. I have to put it next to his nose. It doesn't seem like he can see in front of himself. He likes to get his shrimp from the side of his head.

live feed is not a good thing do
pan fish worms and smelt (cheep at gfs)
dont over feed it
i lost my tig from over feeding

Your right live is not good it's great! I've never lost one and have six on hand. If i killed mine i would not be giving advice?
