3” Kelberis -not eating anything!

Bloodworms. I can definitely say Kelberi are by far THE most PICKY bass to convert. Every other bass Ive converted did so in 1 to 2 weeks. All 3 Kels Ive owned have taken 2+ months to fully wean off of live. But as babies they usually readily take bloodworms and mysis shrimp so give those a shot
update -one kelb died for no reason-
Other kelb and one xinhju bass ate de thawed blood worms for first time last night- so I will continue with that for next week how do I get them to eat krill, small sized massivore pellets /de thawed prawnsetc,,,,

Its not the food but the environment.
Get some dither fish like Denison Barbs/Roseline sharks, Dollars, etc - especially dither fish who can eat the same things the kelbs would, maybe in smaller portions.
It will change their habit...
Also, It may turn out to be "monkey see, monkey do"

Some cover(some place to hide ) dithers, and a small Oscar. Bigger tank. No need for a small tank to train them .Never starve a fish to get it to eat. Starving fish stunts them causing other problems and death.theres a sticky on how to train bass off feeders feed them what they will eat and get some meat on them . By that time they will be use to you
All my bass and other fish take food by hand . I've used this method on peacock bass arowanna and black bass it really works.
