I was wondering what I should feed my Black Crappie. It is 2" and I just got It yesterday. I dont expect it to eat right away. Could I feed It blood worms? Also what size does It need to be so it could be with my 5" longear sunfish that is kind of agressive? I have It in my 20gallon until it grows.

It may not take prepared foods like pellets. Feed them either frozen or live foods such as feeder guppies.

From what I hear, crappie are very hard to get pellet trained

i have a 5in. redbreast ,2 4in. warmouth , 3in. longear and 3in. dollar and none will eat pellets and I've tried every type. they like bloodworms, red worms and small minnows.
I have only been able to get them on flakes when they are less than an inch. Unfortunately they were not separated from the bigger ones and were ate. I have tried for a couple years to get them off minnows/worms/bugs.
I've gotten a LMB (1 out of 3) and a Green Sunfish on hikari gold pellets before, otherwise i fed my small basses brine shrimp which i regularly use to feed my saltwater fish. i think it's possible, keep trying, you might get that special one that eats pellets
I don't have any problems with bass and sunfish that takes any types of prepared foods but its a challenge to training the crappies to take prepared foods.
