Changing Feed ??

[DaniiloC]

hello guys,

I got a Knife Clown, Wolf, Florida Gar, Channa Lucius and Poly Senegal...
I always feed this guys with live fish and now I would like to give them Sticks.

My Wolf and Bichir already accept the Sticks...
Do you believe that is just a time issue or they will not eat ?

Just let me know the risk and other ways to feed them !!

Thanks

When they get hungry enough they will eat. Its good the other fish are eating it. Helps them know its food when they see the other fish eat it.

Tell you what.
First of all you should NOT feed fish live feeders since they can give your fish parasites that probably will kill them.
But that's not the point, First. you should starve your fish for about a week. Second. Put the sticks in the tank.
third. if the fish do not accept them then try hand feeding the sticks. Lastly if your fish will not try the sticks you
can actually cover them in a fish-like scent powder which might draw your fish in.
You can also use tilapia, silversides, etc.

I'll let them starve so..thanks...
