I got a pair of Agassizi's on Saturday. It took them less than 24 hours to claim a really good "cave" spot in the tank and make it their home. It really was fascinating watching them work themselves into the social structure of the tank. As my tank is predominantly tetras (with the exception of pencilfish, hatchetfish and corys), it's so interesting seeing fish with such a different type of behaviour. Wonderful.
But my question is this... a few days on, I've not actually seen them eat anything. I see their mouths are much different to the rest of the fish in my tank. I fed the tank bloodworms on Saturday and just flakes yesterday and today. I've not seen the Apistos eat any of it. They come out and look around, presumably sensing the excitement of feeding, but they don't seem to eat any of it.
Do I need to feed them something else? Or will they eventually catch on? Will they come to the top to feed? Any experience/advice will be very much appreciated. :wink:
