So I was gonna buy an above ground pool and throw some tilapia in it to raise and feed my pbass after reading a lil more I have to have to have a permit of some sort. Soooooo maybe I can raise bluegill bream in stead? Good idea, bad idea, why?
Cuz I like watching them eat live food and I don't know what pellets to feed them.I have seen members on here feed bluegill to bass before so it can be done, honestly anything is better than goldfish
You could always feed your bluegill stock a high quality pellet to help the cichla get the best nutrition. But if you dont mind me asking why not try to get the bass on pellets?
The work and water bill will pay for itself after the bluegill start breeding. Plus like I said I enjoy watching my fish eat live. I'll pay whatever I need to so I can watch that.Sounds like to much work, and a high water bill............Stick with Hikar Biio-Gold Floating Pellets.
No I understand what u r saying and I will try the pellets. I was just saying to me it's worth the time and money.sounds like you have already made your decision, like I said though... if you do feed strictly bluegills atleast feed the bluegills high quality pellets so that nutritional benefits can be passed on to your cichla
To be honest, I have to admit it is impressive to watch cichla hit live food, but in my opinion it is equally as impressive and much easier and economical to watch cichla hit a pellet just as hard,
But to each his own, main thing is enjoy your peacock bass!
Thx, I'm gonna give it a shot. Worst thing that could happen is next summer I will have a pool lolI say do it 100% I feed live and I feel it is the best for Cichla especially. Great idea imo.. Myself I use different Cichlds ie. Parachromis/Tetracathus/Peratharaps/Amphilious as feeder breeders. But I like your Bluegill idea.
