its been about 2 and a half weeks.
He has had nothing but ghost shrimp. He ate the ghost shrimp live at first, like river suggested, then i got him to take dead ones. I pack the dead ones with 2 or 3 pellets of marine food, and he took 3 of those so far, so like a total of 6 or 7 pellets. But now he has gotten to smart for that, and doesnt swallow the pellet!
I dont think its very healthy for him to live off of ghost shrimp alone, is it?
He does show interested in food however, i mean whenever i am in the room , hes looking at the surface, waiting for me to drop something in. But unless its a ghost shrimp, he just watches intently for a moment, then lets it go bye and the trigger eats it.
I try just about every day to feed him something different, whether it be brine, or a raw prawn, or flakes, or freeze dried krill, or silver sides or mysis or formula one. Now im not saying i try all of these things every day, because that would be a waste. But i do try these things from time to time, and switch up every day what i try too.
its so sadd lol i just want the poor thing to eat, and its so hard not to give in and just let him have another ghost shrimp. But im a good fish owner, and i know that those arent very good for him, so i stop myself.
Any ideas? (sorry for ranting by the way)
