Any idea how to get peacock bass fry from eating food other than bloodworms? They love them but I know they are so low in in nutrition. It is all they will eat. Should I be trying to get them to eat other more nutritious food or will that eventually happen with time as they grow? Thanks for any insight and expertise!
 
Brine shrimp and frozen mysis shrimp. My 1.5in baby orinos been eating both and bloodworm. I would just keep feeding all that until they get bigger and then you'll probably be able to pellet train. Pbass babies need a lot to eat when they're young so feed as much as you can. When I'm off I feed 4 to 5 times a day.

Are you able to get brine shrimp? If not heatherbeast recommended to me looking in Asian markets for tiny frozen fish used for cooking. They are tiny white fish called haturojako in Japanese. I have still yet to find some and try it.
