zerospel Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Hey guys Just bought a small kissing gourami and its very healthy, it swims around and nibble on every leaf in the tank but when it comes to feeding time its struggling to pick up the food and is terribly slow to get the sinking one and all other fish beat the gourami to it. It managed to pick up a pellet but it spat it out. Any advice would be great Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaglebarret Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Hi zerospel, I've had that problem with other gourami varieties, What i found was if it takes it and then spits it out, it means it's a different food to what their use to being fed. I found after a week or so when it started getting hungry it would take the food that i offered...just give it a bit of time to settle in and it will eat eventually. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ged Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I have always found a good quality tropical flake or small granules, frozen shrimp/worms or vegetable-based foods are good food types for them. Gerard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerospel Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 Thanks! The kisser is eating now, but i had to sink the flakes for it to be able to eat what a pain! and it doesnt eat mini pellets. This fish dont seem like a greedy type tho, doesnt eat that much and dont go into feeding frenzy like other fish does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
