CK growing secrets

[Miguel]

got myself a bunch of babies ( around 2,5 inches ) they are very undernourished, it appears to me...

any clues on how to make them advance in life and get them to a comfortable size asap?

thank you

Normal feedings of meaty foods and the growth should take care of itself quickly. How many is a bunch? And pics are required.

Feeder fish.

Feeder fish. All of my knife fish grew fast on rosy reds, then goldfish, then minnows and the occasional bass shiner for the biggest one.

they're not big enough for feeders...gave them some white mosq larvae....but they really are skinny....

Try bloodworms or shred your food fine and see what they will take. Little one I had years ago would eat small strips of frozen fish.

Frozen Bloodworms and Brine Shrimp has always done the trick with my Knives.
