New Wild caught Orinocos 7-8” Pellet train

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
What do they eat now? Only live food?
Shop said they eat shrimp since they came in but i tried but they wont touch it so im guessing they either not hungry or they only take live
 
The one in the top right is very thin.
I would try live worms or night crawlers to trigger feeding instincts & get them eating.
Once taking works, you can injected crushed up pellets into the worms so the bass get used to the taste & smell and work to switch over gradually 🤷🏻‍♂️
 
Have you treated them since you got them?
Yes prazipro, still no luck… idk man.. i have them in a 180g grow out. Just 3 of them and one is just bullying the other 2.. they still wont take frozen or anything. I tried smelt, shrimp, tilapia, massivore sinking, floating.. i was forced to give them live since they have not eaten for 10 days. At this point im frustrated i feel like i have to give them up. I had tigerfish, piranhas, wolf fish before and i did not have a hard time getting them to frozen or pellet. Im wondering if they just too big to train.. they about 8-9 “
