henward Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 how do i entice this one to eat? stressed abit, when i got it, it jumped out of container and had to pick it up and put it in the tank, then it squeeze through a hole the size of a pea.... fixed that foudn it after 1 hour, and its still alive!! i am relieved to my shame i shoiuld have left no chance of holes on the lids but anyways. since i got it, it hasnt eaten, while the senegalus thats smaller is eating like a maniac how do i make these eat? i want to feed it shrimp and sinking carnivore hikari as thats hte staple it will be on.
