Feeding a baby pike

[Touhu]

I got a little baby pike that is about 1½ inch long.
I have tried feeding it earthworms, insects, prepared food and it looks like he havent eaten anything, I cant feed it any fish yet because its so tiny.
So any suggestions what i could feed it?

bloodworms? or did you already try that also and I just missed it? bloodworms are usually reccomended for hard to feed fish on here.. and I have used them on finicky eaters myself and they work!

brine shrimp

Ya, most of the LFS will have a place to get bloodworms. In mine its next to the brine shrimp and other frozen foods.

yeah my lfs has them in the freezers with the brine shrimp and also in a can on the shelf with like the flakes and stuff in freeze dried form... both seem to work but the bloodworms in the cans pretty much always floats.. both work tho

Esox as in like the northern pike and others? You may have to start with live fish until it's a bit bigger, but try bloodworms aswell. Is it wild caught? Cause it may not know what dead food is yet.

I would try fresh hatched brine, and bloodworms.
