I pick up a dwarf caimen last weekend at the North western berks expo. He is about 14 inches and seems healthy but has not eaten from what I have seen. I put 100 feeder guppies in the tank, but due to I have the tank well planted I cannot tell if he has eaten any. Last night I left a live hopper on the land area but to find in dead in the water this morning. I put a night crawler in there tonight, but he dosent seem intrested. I tried mazuri I bought from the vendor the caimen was purchased from the first day but all it did was get soggy and break up. From what i have read they are supposed to be fed 2-3 times per weeks and feeder fish at all times. How long should I wait before it should be something to be conserned with? Also what can I do to stimulate his appitite.
