I have a 5 inch dat that used to be on market prawns but now after spending a week under someone elses care it is now only on feeders. How can I get him off this unhealthy diet as quickly as possible? Sure it is thrilling but I know that the variety of live fish i can feed it is limited as there are only so many species deemed feeders

BASICALLy long story short. How can I get it on other foods again? Anything will be ok. I know this sthread has probably been posted before but I really need help

Thanks
Kevin
 
Please use the search. Too many new lazy members... Lol

So Simple...Just feed what YOU want it to eat.

If the fish has only been away for a week, don't panic, it'll be back on frozen very soon.

I see now.... So 1 week away plus a month ... 5 weeks of feeder fish. No wonder why it won't convert....still... Could be alot worse .

At 5 inches ... I say u can do starve method. I reckon 10-15 days of only feeding frozen, and it should start eating non-live..
