Thanks- These guys have been eating bloodworms with hikari carnivore pellets mixed in (broken in 1/4's) then re-frozen. The pellets absorb the bloodworm taste, but are still whole so they start taking them well. They also get freeze dried krill & vita-chem. 1/2 of this tank will take the pellets by themselves, but not the 2 tocantins. So I am in the middle of trying to starve them for 1-2-3 days & see if they give in! Also, the fish I got from you are doing great- except one kel hurt it's eye. I'm trying to treat with salt & water change every day. It looks better, but I don't know if it will have permanent damage or not yet.

The rio araguaia kelberi are taking pellets already for me lol.
The Tocantins are the most stubborn peacock bass I've dealt with. There is 2 of them that wouldn't even take blood worms and I have 2 that's on pellets.
I'm trying to work on them all to take pellets most of the Broko are still blood worms I have only 3 Broko on pellets

This might bore you guys, but I thought I'd post it & let you see these guys in action. It is kinda long, but if you want to forward to the end the boss Kelberi poses real nice like he's "the man"

Lol seeing video of peacock bass never bore me. It makes me happy.

I think we are a little too crazy over peacock bass or just me. Lol

Yeah I got it bad... But I could be doing much worse things with my time! I'm planning on moving these fish out of this tank & bringing the ones I got from you into it. Yours need to be around me more & become more outgoing, so I'm bringing them to my home tank. I can't wait to see your Kels grow & & compare them to the ones in the video!

Yea there's much worse things you could be doing that your wife could kill you for lol.

You still haven't bring them home yet?
Certainly being around you will make them more outgoing and not be so shy.
