F15hguy Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 saw a guy in Aussie pellet training his barra by tying a pellet loosely to a fishing lure and working it across the surface, worked first time after a few days he removed the lure and just dragged the pellet across the surface, 2 days later and the barra was wolfing down pellets whenever they were offered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamosfish Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Just a quick update on the feeding..... He is starting to show aggression towards the pellets now. Although still skiddish when I approach the tank for feeding but once he notices the food he darts towards the top and snatches a few. A couple more weeks on these to really concrete it into him then will start slowly adding shrimp only at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
