My ST both are eating very well now after i added a wavemaker. Not sure got any link or not though

Another bro mention that adding a 100% mp trained IT will help ur IT to eat mp i think this is very true. It is only a matter of time before ur IT following what the rest are doing.

Thanks for all your advice

. Will try to feed only mp till it's willing to eat. I'm only worried the IT will attack other tank mates if it is too hungry.

Hi bro my experience with tiger is they are much easier to train mp. My 12 and 16 inch tiger share 5 prawn each meal. The left over my endy and small ray eats. Just throw 1 100% mp train tiger inside and the one which dont eat will follow soon.

very true, salt is a major factor in making Tigers stable.. try also adding DW and some plants.. Brackish water is the best for ITs..

I guess it really differs... My tank has no salt totally and my ITs are all stable.

Light source and the surrounding of the tank may play a part....see thru tank may be great for a stable IT....
