Mine would go through phases that he would not eat for a couple weeks at a time, other times I couldn't feed him enough. It made no sense to me.
Mine also does this usually its because of a growth spurt once he didn't eat for a solid 3 weeks. Turned out he gained almost 2 inches

So what did you do? Did u just leave the feeders in the tank with the wolf?

All I did was offer him food every day if he didn't take it then my lungfish ate it. I will only ever leave feeders in the tank if I am going away for day at a time. He actually just started doing it to me the past few days even though I walk by and he comes out and begs while doing laps he won't eat when I feel him. In a few days or a week I'm sure he will eat again and probably be bigger

Lkick the feeders and feed tilapia fillets ,market shrimp ,nightcrawlers,trout worms instead. If you want to get it tobeat pellets just stuff the food with whatever pellets. Takes the hassle out of pellet training

I once had a wolf that didn't eat for half a year after I moved him from one tank to another.

Wolves are very picky like that. I would change my aquascape every two weeks once they get used to the changes they should be fine

Alright, updates on the wolves. Both of them eating well now. The mal takes fish fillets, but still no luck with pellets. The red wolf eats pellets an really anything I feed it. In the past few weeks I see no growth in the red wolf. And I see much growth in the mal.. What is the growth rate f red wolves? My mal is growing too big too fast, and yet my red is growing too slow. Any ideas? I'm feeding my red kens krill pellets and hikari massivore

I ordered 2 malas from Aquascapeonline. Got one to eat pellets after 3 days and the other after 5 days. It's been a week and a half and they've grown some and now know when I'm feeding them.
