what to do with my tat...

[pwmin]

i decided to give it some feeders yesterday as it still hadn't eaten.

for some reason or another, it has started to chase off some of its tankmates. I don't want to stress it out, but I may try it in the 210 again. maybe it will hold its own now. it was never like this before w/ other fish.

because it just claimed its part of the tank.
mine did that too.
but was unable to compete with the temensis and the tilapia.
but he ignored the bottom dwellers.

ya, it just seems very uncharacteristic


I'm going to be gone for a couple days, so on Wednesday, I am going to try it in the 210 again. Hopefully, it will eat tilapia again.

Now, I can't get my marbled goby to eat anything but live

last night, it ate a pellet and a couple pieces of FD mysis shrimp that got caught in the current of the filter. It seems weird that it will only take non-live a couple days after eating live and then will quit eating it.

my armatus did that. stretch his stomach out on live, then the next day he would be so hungry he didnt care what i threw in the tank.

very interesting. I'm now on day 2 after feeding live and it also ate some FD mini krill today. I will try tilapia again and if it eats, I'm going to put it back in the 210 after I clean it.

i would get him used to eating first b4 u switch him to the 210.

im gonna try krill on my little armatus.

ya, I know, I just really want to clear this tank. I'll be a little more patient. BTW, It ate 2 pieces of shrimp tonight. If it continues eating for the next couple of days, I'll feel better about moving it.

 

[pwmin]

woot, it's eating tilapia meat pieces like a champ tonight. anther day or two of this then back into the 210.

welp, it was eating great, so I decided to put it in the 210. Everything was fine, nobody bothering it, and it even ate a couple pellets right after putting it in. Checked on it this morning and torn cadual fin again

I'll either have to divide a section off in the 210 for it or put it in the 40B. I just replaced the 55 it was in w/ a 75 and I'm not going to divide it off and put it back in there. Which option is the best? I know it really needs much larger than a 1 or 2x2x2 section or a 40B, but I don't have many options.
