henward Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 i have a small american tiger dat used to hvae a massive appetite i moved it to a planted tank only seen it eat once, but never saw it swallow the food, it hid with the food. its bellly looks empty ish when i put its normal food, it goes to it, then it pushes it with its mouth. as if trying to bite and suck the food in, but not really able to ... or not wanting to just strange its like nudging the piece of shrimp forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I've read they can be fussy but mine seems to eat anything and everything. Maybe its taking a while to settle in? I think they feel more confident when they have other active fish around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
