N1CK Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Maybe some other live food? daphnia and/or mosquito larvae(maybe slightly smaller goldfish)? and try and feed him just before the lights go out?.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 sinking carnivore is best option, get off bloodworms asap, if it doesnt feed starve it a while, pellets are best, dont feed live feeders atm, 5cm thats tiny. I have 2, got them at 10cm, had them for about 2-3 weeks, 1 at my place, 1 at henwards, experiementing, my one at his place was with more filtration and a slightly different diet and has grown an inch within 3-4 weeks, both on pellets.

henward Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 yes at mine! a nice one at that!! i just had to get a second CK after seeing frujus one! they are both high spotted, 12 to 14 spots each side. feed it sinking carnivore OR prawns, RAW PRAWNS. cooked ones can block them up. bloodworms are really n ot a sustainable food for them and WILL eventually stunt growth. Reason is that you really gotta be feeding so much of them. most of bloodworms is water and for monster fish, really isnt a good food. its an intermediate food - somthing lfs feed to keep them alive but not grow big. floating pellets is fine, but they forage on the floor more. also, if its 5 cm, its still tiny tiny, you might hae to break up the sinking pellet into two. check water param, at that size, they are known to be abit more sensitive. when they get bigger, then they are hardy as. hope that helps:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
