chinese perch

Got 3 of them today. Just want to know some info about them and peoples experiences. I fed them about an hour after i put them in and they ate like 20 feeders in a minute within the 3 of them. I will try to get them off live but i heard it was difficult. They are not common here so i just grabbed them. I was only gonna buy 1 but the owner said he'd give me a good deal if i took all 3 so i took them. So please share your info.thanks.

btw they are about 2 inches.

I starved it for a while, but I wouldnt starve a small one too much.
I tied a peice of shrimp to a fishing line (loosely) and made it look "live" to get him to eat it.
After a couple tries like that he was hooked

Ahhh, the fishing line trick. Hahaha, sounds so stupid but it works.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for the three?

I paid about 15 for the 3 of them. he was selling them each for like 8$ but he said hed give them to me for 5 each if i got all 3. I figured if i didnt want them i could sell them and get my money back later anyway.
