bad news is that his tail fin is still shredded, good news is he's eating pellets now! The other bass still spits them out. I've been throwing in a single pellet at a time when they come up to the surface and surprisingly yesterday he ate one. I thought it was an accident b/c he ignored the rest of the pellets. Surprisingly tonight, while I am up studying, I decided to try the pellets again b/c they came up to the surface and bam he put down at least 8. The other guy tried one, spat it out and ignored the rest.
