feeding juvenile TSN

[toxicfish]

My TSN will only eat guppies is this ok .......? Just like my LSN will only eat live fish...... What are some good foods for them ? I tried Fozen Brine/Krill but they wont eat it...

I tried to post a pic but they wont upload

It's probably not the best for him but they will keep him alive maybe try some ghost shrimps and when he gets bigger crayfish and tadpol maybe even frogs... Just switch it up a little if all he will eat if live foods....

Starve him for a few days and throw some krill in. Pims will rarely refuse food.

That is all they eat in the wild right is live fish???

Starve him for few days....
then you may try to give him whatever food you wanted to try....
if still doesn't want to eat.....starve for another 1 or 2 days....then try again....

THe live fish in the wild are not crammed by the hundreds into tiny tanks where copper and ammonia levels are through the roof.

That was not the question. I do not cram hundreds of fish in a tiny tank .

Toxicfish, we know that you don't , many commercial breeders of feederfish, both guppies and goldfish, do! They raise them on the cheapest food and crammed into grow out tanks so over stocked that with out copper based meds fungus would wipe them out.
As far as tsns eating only live fish in the wild even the most piscavorous fish like needlefish are have to snatch up a passing bug or wriggling worm if they get the chance. Don't get me wrong here, unlike some of the keepers of high end fish I am a fan of live foods.

Ok I understand what ya mean now . believe me , I would rather them eat more than just live food .
