Travisclifford Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Hi everyone, I've got a 5cm golden perch purchased from a pet shop a few weeks ago who doesn't seem to eat much if anything. So far I've tried pellets, flakes, various meats and vegetables and dead pieces of guppies. The only piece I've seen him pick at is a little piece of beef sausage. I'm assuming he's not gunna eat much due to his size, otherwise he seems perfectly happy and healthy. The other natives I've owned have been bought at at least 10cms and were eating livies or pellets within days. Any ideas? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
