feeder fish

[stingray94]

Hi,
I got a new 4" female marbled motoro a week from yesterday. What's weird is that she will ONLY eat live fish. I was able to easily switch her from goldfish to rosie reds but I have tried nightcrawlers,market shrimp and bloodworms with no luck. I even tried a small silverside to see if she would eat that. I feed both of my rays off of a prong, I put a small piece of worm on the prong with the feeder fish to try and get her to eat worms but it's not working. Any advice? thanks

Try and starve it for a week or so.

i think starve her after 1 month old.. its too young and too risky if you do that now.

I am yet to see my motoro eat live food ^^ for better or worse ...

He does not accept pellets either. Shrimp only for now. I am indulging at the moment
