i'm having trouble with feeding. they wont touch pellets. dare i goto feeders? i dont know what else to try. its been two days, they are more adventerous in the tank but they haven't eaten as far as i can tell and the lois and jag are being weird too. didn't touch their beefheart.

thanks.

my small pbass wouldnt touch anything like pellets or flakes, but went NUTS on bloodworms

Yes they will eat bloodworms but greatly prefer swimming food

i feed mine bloodworms, brine shrimp or mosquito larve and live rosies are growing fast love it!!:cool-1: :character0087: :character0062: :mrsatan: :character0063: :icon_naruto10: :character0004: :eek3: :popcorn: :nilly:

Continue to feed BW until they get larger.

I just got mine and it eats brine shrimp and ghost shrimp.

i seem to be able t get any small bass onto bloodworm easily and then as they get to 4" I start introducing chopped lancefish.

worked like a charm guys. bloodworms. will they eat beefheart when they're older or will they only go for the lancefish and other fish meat?

thanks a lot, im so happy my pbass aren't gonna starve. so far i've seen my loisellei eat again. haven't seen the jag yet. crossing fingers.

thanks agian,

Beefheart is ok for them if they will eat it just don't over feed it that can cause constipation. Just remember under the 6 inch mark feed them whatever they like do not try to starve them onto a new food they are very fragile at that size :)

UPDATE: my pbass are spitting out the bloodworms now. they look like they want to eat it but for some reason they spit out. they keep going and going after it.

any ideas?
