just aquired two new lil guys 3" unknown peacock bass and polypterus endlicheri ive tried feeding the polyp. live blackworms and some frozen krill butt he just kinda sniffs them and turns away... what else is a good food to try and whats going to be best for maximum growth
 
I have two Polypterus ornatipinnis and they love bloodworms. I also feed them live fish. Have you tried beefheart?
 
Mine eats tilapia, massivore, market shrimp, live rosy reds and feeder goldfish. But his absolute favorite is nightcrawlers. Got him at about 4" 6 weeks ago. Now he's pushing 10" and very girthy. He has blown right past my ornate and weeksii.

lol 6 inches in 6 weeks? did you mean months?
 
My endlicheri eats superworms. When i got a 6 inch endlicheri a month ago, it wouldn't eat for about a week. Then after that it eats superworms occasionally especially those left behind by the clownloaches. its not really eating much but i guess its getting by ...
