My new Bowfin, is pouting i think. Before catching this guy, i had read lots of articles that kind of put this guy in the same catagory as other large predatory coldwater fishes, and the attack and actual fight envolved when i caught him seemed to indicate that this was true. Now that he is in my tank however he seems a lot less so. He always kinda hides out, which i guess, is part of his ambush predator method of operation thing, but yesterday, i went to a local lake, and scooped up about a hundred Gambusia, which i put in his tank, and he simply ignores them. (I only did this because he was showing no interest in pellets) I know newly caught Natives are reluctant to eat for awhile, but i wanted this guy to attack immediately, anything i put in there with him. Oh well, he will eat when he feels like it.

said they have been known to survive a loooong time without any food at all when forgotten in a tank, so im not overly concerned.
