I just got my first pair of p-bass today. They are about 2" and I saw them eat white cloud's, so i know they will eat live food, but how should i wean them off of it.

At that size, many would question whether or not to try to get them off of live food. I know many have had problems with little p-bass and so they keep them stuffed on live foods til they get to the 5" - 6" range and then they wein them off of the live stuff. The two that I have were raised that way and I have had no troubles with converting them to eat shrimp and krill.
