K. I have offered him live black worms, freeze dried bloodworms, frozen bloodworms. Chases all of them the stops right before and doesn't not eat them. Not a fan of worms I guess. What should I feed next?
How do I do this? Feed the minnows pellets?They really like those. Gutloading the minnows first can make them much healthier for the dat
They are from my LFS. 10 for a buck. I'm setting up a 36" x 10" x 15" for this guy and then this 10 gallon tank will be free for feeders. I would prefer another alternative than live feeders , like I do with my aro, bass, ckf, and other fish. But I did not want to starve this little guy.Where u getting the feeders from? Are they minnows from baitshops, wild caught minnows, or are they just feeders from petstores? Are you willing to set up a 10gal or so for just the feeders themselves? If not I would stop feeding live minnows now & go another route immediately..they can be addicting & getting him on other things than whole fish can be challenging...i would only do this if you are willing to feed him whole fish as his staple diet for eternity. Live feeders would only be brief till he gets some nice early growth on him..then you would introduce him to thawed whole fish from the grocery stores..the conversion from live whole fish to thawed whole fish actually works very easy & consistantly ime
