I had my indo.datnoid for about 3weeks now its about 3 1/2" i want to convert it into frozen or something any one know any methods that works that wont kill it? Its my first and only datnoid and its on live bloodworms n feeders which is bad :(
 
If he is on live bloodworms right now I would try to convert him to frozen bloodworms at first.. Don't be to scared he won't eat enough if doesn't eat it right away..

My first Indo's only ate at night at first (lights out) so maybe it's an idea to put in some frozen bw every night after the lights go out and see what happens..

Good luck!
 
alright thanks ill try that but hes fine during the day i just need him to attack his food he has a peacock bass tankmate encouraging him to eat but hes not eating that well when its not feeders
 
Not a good combo . The bass will probably steal the food.
If your not ready to starve the fish , then marinate chopped frozen prawns with the bloodworm. Leave in fridge for 30 mins , then feed. Do this for 2-4 weeks ... Every day.
It should start to take the prawn eventually.
