Switching him over to prawn was no problem at all. I dropped 2 small pieces in his tank Wednesday night, and although he didn't react at first, both chunks were gone in the morning.On Thursday, when I came home from work, I noticed the fish is aggitated. He was swimming all over the tank, digging gravel like a buldozer, and practically jumping out. My presence didn't bother him at all, if anything, he would get even more active when I approached. So I thought that perhaps he is hungry. I quickly defrosted, peeled and cut 2 large prawns, figuring that whatever he won't eat will go to my bichir (in a different tank). Well, wadda ya know?! Little bastard ate it all! He literally vacuumed the floor, jumping on the pices as soon as they hit the water!
Last night I expected the same reaction, but he totally ignored food, I noticed his belly looked lumpy, as if he just fed. It is still the same today, and although I haven't tried to feed him, he is not displaying behavior I witnessed Wednesday night.
Shoul I be concerned at this point? Do they have a super slow metabolism or something, therefore taking 2 days to digest food? He looks the same, acts normally, and water is good (I did a 50% change yesterday). Any suggestions?
