thin bars are great and seam to grow a little bit faster than other tigers

they are some times very hard to get feeding

DONT give in to them from day 1 only give them what you want then to eat but forget pellets

they will and can not eat for the 1st 3-4 weeks even at a small size DONT give in or you will never get them off live foods

once mine started eatting prawn they wouldnt eat live food again

all they are gonna get is prawn once a day so they better get on with it
one of them looks great this morning he has 4 solid stripes and much better colour
the other 3 are black

my 2 silver dats took approx 7-10 days before they would eat prawns,but,when they did,bang.

i starved them for the last 5 days to get them good and hungry
then gave them prawns today and they all ate them

thats sweeeet they grow fairly fast if you feed them alot

i expected them to give me a hard time feeding coz they have only ever eaten live shrimp at the lfs
turns out they ate the first thing that i dropped in B)
