Snakehead

Bro, I did not starve it as I just got it from bro Salmon yesterday. Last evening tried my luck by dropping the pellets on its face, it started chewing, but maybe not used to it so some came out from the gills and abit messy.

Then I tried again midnight, haha, swallowed the whole thing. and I started playing with it and touching it.

But I guess it would take some heart to starve them before they would finally accept processed food.

My Channa aurantimaculata rather starve than eat pellets, not even MP.
and this fellow managed to jumped out of tank and was discovered hours later in the morning.... So i stopped starving it.

Great to know that it is feeding on pellets.
It's previous diet was only MP and feeder frogs.
Have fun with it !

Good that it eats Hikari Sinking Carnivorous pellets.
I started playing with it last nite with my fingers for 2 hrs. And now, I can handfeed it. heehee

Nice piece. Got intense colourations, kept 2 pieces before but both didnt surive for very long. I bought my first piece when it was sick and tried to cure it and the other jumped out. I got pictures of mine in my album u can check it out.
