lol, you're going to need a lot of patience to ween him off live foods. my roommate took 3 weeks to get his peacock bass to eat pellets, it ate bloodworms, then he started crushing pellets into the bloodworms etc until one day he ate the pellets by itself.
I guess I'll buy a small cricket and a few guppies tomorrow, if the cricket doesn't work I'll feed the guppies (one by one) - saw the sticky about getting them off live foods and about how you should hold them in front of the tank so that they see your hand as bringing food. I'll try to maybe switch in a piece of beefheart or a pellet once in a while?
Would he also be more willing to try pellets if my other fish in the tank (HRP) was eating them? (My HRP is a vacuum lol)
i have 2 of those little guys.. i was told they were monos but they are still small to tell.. i got them for $10 each.. i was told they only eat feeders but i got them off it by feeding them small pieces of talilapia and pellets at the same time
break up some pellets and mix them in with the bloodworms, than re-freeze the mixture in the original bloodworm packaging so you wind up with a cube again. the cube will float at the surface, so as your fish peck at it they have no choice but to get some pellet in their diet. also it will introduce the taste and texture of the pellets. thats what you wanna get them on.
Yeah that's probably a mono or ocell. That is what LFS call them when they have no idea what species it really is.
I believe that it is a Hawaiian name for peacock bass in general.
