Hi Everyone! I have a 2.5-3 inch EB Acara and he won't eat any |
|
kind of Cichlid pellet. I've tried a few NLS pellets and Omega |
|
One Cichlid pellets (all sinking). He devours frozen brine and |
|
blood worms. I've had him for two weeks and he acts normal. My |
|
water tests good (ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, nitrate 5). My question |
|
to the community is should I wait him out and keep feeding |
|
pellets until he takes them or is there a different route of |
|
food that will meet all his nutritional needs? I know Acara's |
|
are mainly carnivores but feeding only brine and blood worms |
|
doesn't seem right. His only tank mates are a syn cat and a |
|
bushynose Pleco both around 2 inches. Any suggestions would be |
|
greatly appreciated. |

They can go weeks without eating, wait for him to get hungry. |
|
And don't let the food spoil in the tank, your catfish should |
|
eat any leftover |

Thanks for the reply. The cat is there for that very reason. |
|
I'm just going to wait him out. He's a stubborn one. :) |
