The 4 pBass that I bought recently (2.5" size) will eat only frozen bloodworms. Once the cube hits the water they attack it and finish it off. I want to get them started on fish fillets and prawns, but they won't take it. It will just lie on the tank bottom.
(Bloodworms are expensive for me and fish fillets/prawns etc are much cheaper with a big variety)
Questions is should I start starving them now itself to get the trained on fillets/prawns or should I wait a couple more weeks feeding them their favorite bloodworms before trying anything else. It is just 3 days since I've bought them so I'm not very sure whether putting them on a starving cycle is a good idea.
By the way when I bought them from LFS, two of them had platies like fish in their mouth (that was too big for them to swallow). They spat them out when we were chasing them with the net.
