They are not fussy at all!!

Mine eats market shrimp, sinking pellets, Nightcrawlers, smelt and had leftover crab legs one time!!

Thanks. I think they are in a tank thats too big so they are not eating well.

Mine is... I just got him this past weekend. And they had him for about a month they said and never saw him eat. He is really skinny. I thought he would eat alot, but really doesnt. He sits there so still and I would put food infront of him and he wouldnt touch it. He did though finally try some bloodworms not alot but enough to make me happy.

just be patient......... they should become major eaters after they settle in and grow like crazy !!!
