feeding and food for Ck

[faststang1]

I got a 9.5in clown knife.The lfs said to feed it gold fish.What more can I feed it.The lfs had it for about a year and they fed it fish.

I had a 16" CK that was on feeders only before I got it. I starved him for a few days, threw some shrimp in, and he's taken whatever I offer ever since then. It shouldnt be too hard.
try beefheart, shrimp, krill, pellets, even fish fillet.

They eat lots of things, krill, bloodworms, blackworms, pellets, shrimp, earthworms, smelt, and probably lots more.

I have a 20" clown knife and he loves market shrimp,beefhearts and I give him feeders every other week

I have a 7 inch that wont eat anything but rosies and bloodworms....he tries pellets but he spits them out. I also tried beefheart but i've never seen him eat it. my bichir ends up finding it and gobbling it all up.

What should i start feeding it when it gets too big for the rosies and bloodworms?

I got mine to eat nightcrawlers and goldfish.I'm trying to get him to eat beefheart and krill.

Yep.

Starve him a few days he will eat. Survival will set in long before starvation in an otherwise healthy fish.

I cant get him to eat pellets,krill,bloodworms,beefheart and other frozen foods.He spits out everything but nightcrawlers. He just wants nightcrawlers or goldfish.I dont feed him for a day or two and still wont eat nothing but nightcrawlers.
