What are you feeding him ??

They can be shy at first . try feeding him some little feeder minows or shrimp

i offer this as a treat to them once in awhile . I also use frozen fresh water Mysis shrimp

I have tried frozen shrimp, krill, and squid. I have also tried dried krill and seweed selects green, my huma huma loves it but the BT didnt touch it. I have some shrimp soaking in some garlic now im going to try it tomorrow. I dont have access to any type of live food other than a cleaner shrimp and that would be to costly. The other fish would beat him to it anyway.

I dont know what was different about today but he is eating every thing that hits the water. I started with the shrimp soaked in garlic and now its on. Im glad to, i was begining to worry a little. Thanks for all the advice
