What are some good substitutes for feeders when feeding Dats? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Are their any dry goods that they can get adapted to? My small thin bar is actually eating pellets, but I don't think that's his preference.

Keep it on pellets if it eats it, you can try feeding it freeze dried shrimp?

Thanks for the suggestions, I will try the shrimp again.

My dats switched from live feeders to krill and freeze dried shrimp fairly quickly. If you can get the others to do it; pellets would probably be the best alternative for it.

Mine eats market shrimp, freeze dry krills, and nightcrawlers.

market shrimp, freeze dried krill/shrimp, night crawlers, Hikari Sticks and fish fillet (tilapia, crappie, catfish)

my indos love all the above

mine eat thawed out silversides, frozen krill, pellets and some market shrimp but i find some will only eat one or the other, some will eat 2-3 of them, None of my dats eat feeders anymore. I wish they would all eat pellets though, the one that does is growing like crazy.
