Hi all,
Any tips for weaning a juvenile Florida gar onto pellets/frozen?
I got a tiny pencil of a Florida gar (4 inch) a couple of months ago. The dealer was feeding him guppies only.
He is about 7 inches now and getting much thicker. He has a voracious appetite for guppies and will eat as many as I provide to him
I’d really like to get him onto pellets or frozen food. But he refuses to take any form of frozen food (prawns, basa, mussels, sprats etc) - whether I wiggle it drop it in. And he won’t touch any floating or sinking pellets.
He showed a tiny bit of interest in some sprat I dangled once (followed it in the tweezers). But he lost interest and swam off.
Any tips? It feels like he’s too small to starve at this age. But I’m going to go broke buying guppies!
Thanks in advance.
