Blood worms for Peacock Bass

[bOOsteN aUdI]

Try chopped earthworms. They will give you much faster growth and cost less. It's my go to for finicky fish. Even after I break fish to regular food I'll still feed earthworms on occasion. Nightcrawlers seem to work best. Some fish won't eat red wigglers.

Personal I found it hard to get cichla to take earthworms

Interesting. I think it's still worth a try.

Thanks guys I'm trying everything in the book now to put some growth onto them as they are still tiny

I was never successful in raising bass but I'm trying very hard now not too loose these guys

But how long would they take too grow just eating blood worms?

A small bass being fed blood or black worms will grow fast. Constant water changes and frequent daily feeding, they will grow anywhere from 1 to 2" a month.

85 + degree water temps, feeding them a few time a day, and doing water changes everyday to every other day is the secret to the fastest growth.

They look good and healthy to me.

I just got some 3" azul peacock bass myself and so far bloodworms is the only thing they will eat.

My temp is at 86 degrees now...I do water changes every second day and feed blood worms twice a day
