For what it's worth, I fed mine live blackworms for the first week in QT. Dropping very little frozen in 1st, and then the blackworms 5 minutes later. Leopards often crush and spit food, as @4FordFamily mentioned.

That sounds like pretty normal behavior. They spit food out and put it back in their mouth to “soften it up”. Potters aren’t usually great eaters right away. It’s good that it does interest.

Well that's a relief Hopefully it will make it through QT along with the other fish

I really wish there are live blackworms from the country where I live, but sadly, there are none. And I believe you were referring to Potters?

Kyle is sick and he is losing his mind. He probably thought you meant Potters leopard. He has two Potters leopards and a Potters angel

Quick question, how long does it take for potter’s angels to start eating prepared foods heartily? I only see my Potter’s eat 2-3 pellets and 2-3 crumbs of mysis a day.
