Baby NTT datnoids not eating

[Miks786]

Hi everyone. NTT datnoids refusing to eat, I tried shrimp, mussels, earthworms and pellets with no luck. What can I do?

Were they eating with the previous owner? What was that person feeding?

Bloodworms, brine shrimp, or baby guppies/mollies or black worms if all else fails. Once eating, wean them to frozen

What are the tank conditions, water parameters, hiding places, tank mates?

Your NTTs, have recently been scooped out of the Mehkong river, an enormous body of water with zero nitrates, many places to hide where they are invisible to all other fish. They have naturally eaten small river fish and freshwater shrimp ... alive.

Can you recreate this? If not, they may never eat.

Try some live ghost shrimp.
