city hunter Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I could use some suggestions on getting my nely bought red tail tamerin to eat. I tried some flake and frozen mysis tonight with no luck, but it's his first day in the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 This fish is definitely not hardy and is known for not shipping well and not eating. The best thing you can do is give it the most natural food you can, so live amphipods and copepods is a good place to start.

nhowe Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Just read some forums. I'm sure you read the same thing. Some guy out of Harlem, NY was feeding everything but the kitchen sick to one. "he now has a menu (which she greedily eats), of frozen mysis, blood worms, cyclop-eeze flakes, pellets, form 1 & 2,peltata macro, nori, Live baby brine shrimp, black worms?" Seriously, What did this guy not feed this fish??? Sweet fish if it eats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef165 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 The cyclop-eeze work great for getting fish to eat!!! I mix it in with all my foods when feeding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
