After setting up my 100g (this thread: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31307) I deceided to go out and get a couple fish. I bought a 7 inch Jack D and a 5 inch Clown Knife. For 2 weeks these fish wouldnt eat.

After spending 30 dollars in food, I deceided to get some frozen krill last night. I put a few in a cup of warm water and then threw them in. It was a complete feeding frendzy. Man these fish were picky... I was hoping just to get them on sticks.
 
what were u feeding them before? Congrats. Its alwways a good feeling getting new stubborn fish to eat something. Took me 3 weeks to get my dat to eat freeze dried krill. Next blood worms.

I was trying to get them on sticks. They didnt want anything to do with them.
 
shoulda stuck to it. whenever i get new fish, they always adapt to whats fed to them because sooner or later there gonna have that starving feeling n eat whatever they can get there mouths on. i even got wild large mouth bass on pellets. just matter of time
