Hey guys, I hope I posted this thread in the right place...

I’m looking for some information on whitebait...How anyone ever used it before to enhance the growth rate on fish?

Does it have good nutritional value?

I’m trying to grow out 4 datnoids which refuse to eat pellets...They eat earthworms, mussel meat and shrimp...I saw a post on Facebook about whitebait and wondered if if would help with the growth on my datnoids?

I have never had luck with pellet training datnoids so I figured growth them bigger and try and pellet train them...

TIA

White bait will work but usually a bit oily and can increase the fat content in ur fish’s body/organs.

In the past I would get my bigger dats on pellets by soaking the shrimp with some carnivore pellets. 4 of my 6 current dats are on carnivore pellets @ about 2” and they are getting thick!
