lol yea i bet! my 14 inch widebar can eat 100 hikari arowana pellets in the morning and another 100 at nite! he eats a lot! i have to get mine to eat frozen to minimize cost on pellets.
thats the reason why i dont keep anymore stingrays. i find them too hard to feed with aros and tigers. they are just too slow to find the food. aro and tigers usually eat everything first.
what are the sizes of your tigers!!??

Smallest one around 5-6'', biggest one arounr 10-11''.
I am thinking of using some sort of a tube to let the pieces of shrimp sink to the bottom to feed the Tig and Motoro. I wonder if market shrimps is more cost effective than pellets, but mines don't want to take pellets yet.
Here a little vid of the tank:

Great looking tank
How long have you been keeping your ITs. If they are new to tank then they will to likely hide. However if you've been keeping them for a long time, then probably something is bothering them. I got my tigers to get used in the tank for about 1.5 weeks. Then they started to eat pellets in about 2 weeks. I used krills to train them to take floating pellets. Now they beg for food every time I go in front of the tank.

Nice pick ups
Did you get these from T.O?
Two of them are from TO, thanks to a heads up from this forum. The last one came from NY, it was previously sold be Mike at H2O, and I bought him back from the buyer.
STs are addictive, maybe even more than Aros...

I have an IT as well that I have had for about 4 months. It still hides when the lights are on but comes out when it is dark. It looks to be stable, though as the black bars are dark and the body is quite light. It doesn't do much flashing, either. Maybe when it gets bigger it will become more brave, it is about 5 inches now and only eats shrimp.
