henward Posted February 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 yeah ill try that ill mush beef heard with it:D soak it in then they might go for it but it went for it violently today, and the wide bar thats recovering went for it too, just less violent. so they are hungry, wanting to eat and just picky, so eventualy insticnt to survive will kick in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaNs Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Try and dangle the shrimp on a bit of string? Tried soaking it in blood/other foods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 mmm string ok il try that but so far he isnt realy interestred the other is though but i fund that if i drop the food and it makes abit of a splash, it hits it fast!

Gannet Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 could it be that the gold fish filled him up so much he isnt hungry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 that was almost 4 days ago it was a small gold fish too the other ate one as well perhaps but before that, almost 3 weeks and he didnt eat .. wel i didnt see there are pits of shrimp on the bottom of the tank after a few hours they are gone but silver dollars, flagtail, tinfoil, metynis and a royal clocwn 7 inches long could eat it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
