Johnny Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Two months ago I introduced two tetras into my 50 gallon. They are both are smaller than the mature full grown tetras. One eats well, but the other appears to be really bad at foraging for food. He hesitates at going to the top and often misses the food that floats by his face. I try feeding him crushed up flakes and bug bites to help him with feeding. Should I be worried that he isn't as aggressive as the other fish in the tank during feeding or will he grow out of this?

Colu Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Tetra's are more confident in larger group of there own species I would get more black skirt tetra and think you will notice they will be more confident and out more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyFin Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Have you tried live BBS Baby Brine Shrimp? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yanni Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I think that @LuckyFin has a good idea. If you don't have any baby brine shrimp, try some frozen baby brine shrimp, if your tetra isn't eating at the top, maybe it just prefers having the food in the water column. So try to get the food to float around in the tank for a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
