Bass fry help!

[Tseros7768]

Hi guys I'm new to the forum with an urgent question...I have a 3/4 of an inch baby bass that will not eat a thing! I've tried cut up earthworms, bugs that stay on the top of the water and hotdogs...but he refuses to eat! He hasn't had a thing in over a week so if any of you have any cheap ideas for food, please let me know....thanks!

Try brine shrimp or bloodworms.

find someone that has baby guppies... it will probably take too long to buy and breed them.
the other solution although probably harder for your area is leaving a bucket of water out in the shade with some leaves and eventually get mosquito larva. you can try to grow fruit flies or find tiny flying insects(a little trick if you catch them in a jar, add some water from the aquarium to the jar without letting them escape in your home and swirl/shake it around catching the insect in the water then pour it into the tank). at 3/4" they eat tiny things at that age.

Crushed omega one flakes for the first few weeks, then Brian shrimp.

I would try blood worms that always seems to work best for me when something is not eating

Thanks, I'm currently trying the mosquito larvae idea....where do I get bloodworms? Would places like petsmart sell them?

oh and when you net out the mosquito larva id suggest rinsing them before putting that foul water into your tank, just a precaution even though bass are pretty hardy.
