i bought a rainbow shark last week and i have not seen it eating anything. i barely see him/her actually and when i do i only see him chasing other fish out of the castle which he/she thinks is a cave i guess. how do i make sure he/she is eating?

Shawnie

hmm thats weird..my lil guy comes out all the time..specially when its time to eat LOL hes right at the top waiting ..then cleans up the bottom stuff that falls...maybe give him a lil more time? or get some sinking food and place it beside his castle to see if he comes out to eat?

Evelyn1919

yeah...the first few days i thought he was dead or something cuz i couldn't find it but i think he comes out when i'm not home cuz on saturday i was home all day and he was out for little bit. also last night he was out and chasing all the tiger barbs out of his castle LOL i actually have a video of it but i'm not that i can post it while i'm at work lol.

Hey Eve.

As far as I know they are very teritorial and it seems to me that he is pronouncing the throne of the castle. Like Shawnie said, just give him some time to get used to his surroundings. He'll be ok, don't stress!!

i have the video but i for some reason i couldn't download it. i'll try again in a lil bit.

yes, i'm sure he is pronouncing the throne of the castle cuz he chases out any fish that goes in it. usually is just the tiger barbs that seem to like to bother him cuz they keep going in and running out lol.

Charmaine

Can't wait to see your video!! Keep us updated on how the little guy is doing.

Charmaine

Go to VIDEOS and post your video under freshwater videos, that should do the trick.

Evelyn1919

Cancel the download and try again, if that doesn't work, try one of the others.
