Ive had my threadfin ssnapper in my tank for about a week and a half
He didnt eat anything at the pet shop either
The lfs said hed be more likely to eat in our tank than theirs because hes 9 1/2 inches long
and that he didnt feel comfortable in a 29 gal.
Ive tried
Live Ghoast shrimp
live crawdads he did take a bite outa one
silver sides
sand eels
krill
squid
What else can i do :notsure: :notsure: :help: :help: :help:

Try soaking food in garlic before feeding. Worth a try.

 

[lion_crazz]

That's a pretty large fish. What size tank do you have him in?
I also agree with the garlic idea.
Also make sure you water parameters are correct.

 

[wanabebell]

water is good
Il try the garlic stuff
Hes in a 90
I know its small but il be uprading asap

 

[wanabebell]

Is there a special garlic or just like raw garlic??

 

[lion_crazz]

You could do fresh garlic juice like Beth suggests or get Kent's Garlic Xtreme. I use Garlic Xtreme and I like it a lot.

 

[wanabebell]

thanks for your help/concern
How long could he stay in a 90

 

[lion_crazz]

Not very long if you ask me. As soon as you can set-up a much larger tank, go for it.

 

[wanabebell]

Ok then how do you get your parents to upgrade when we just upgraded last christmas
THey think 90 is a huge tank

 

[lion_crazz]

lol, work a fulltime job in the summer and save your own money.

 

[wanabebell]

i gotta see if i can get a raise
last year i was paid 2.50 an hour

i got paid cash
but give me a brake

 

[psusocr1]

2.50???
isnt that illegal thats like 4 bucks under miun. wage!

 

[wanabebell]

but im under age
To be legally working
This years hes got to pay me legally
I can get a underage workers permit hahahha
I smell the green stuff

 

[lion_crazz]

yeah, that is sounding like slave labor. What country do you live in?

 

[lion_crazz]

It doesn't matter if you are underage or not. I am sure you can find somoene who will pay you more than 2.50 an hour.

 

[wanabebell]

Place in rantoul in IL
Bout 15 minutes from Champaign (orange and blue country)

 

[toughguy80]

Under age or not, that is illegal. Unless you are a waiter/waitress or simular profession?

Then actually save what you can, then build yourself a tank. Its alot cheaper than buying one. Trust me. And you can build the stand first, its the cheapest start, while your saving for the glass.
