camtang Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 So I am trying pretty dam hard to get my dat onto dry food. But it is not budging. I have not feed live food for a couple weeks now and I am just to see it eat in that time. It still maybe at night however. Any thoughts on getting it onto something that is not a guppy? It is in with the other big fish, so would trying in its own tank be a smart move? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offer only one stick at a time by dropping them in front of the current. This should stimulate the fish's feeding response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camtang Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Ohh yeah, I knew I was meant to reply too something. Not yet, the tank is too large to do that. Once I move close the tank down I will put it in its own tank and try that, until then I will keep up with feeders once a week or 10 days and keep on trying with just putting food in the tank.

camtang Posted November 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 I have got it on to prawn now which is handy as and from time to time it nibbles at the odd bit of dry food, so that is a start. Side note, it is taking the prawn by hand which is thing is pretty cool, but so is the arowana which I think may end up pretty scarey although they are both pretty gentle with it.... for now.
