HELP w/ Vittatus Tiger

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Wow even pellets? That's great man. I will just have to stay persistent with the tilapia. How long did it take you to grow them out to that size?
Since last Aug, so about 10 months.

In the live-fish imitating exercise that Tig Phish is alluding to, I use a cotton thread, not fishing line, and tie it lightly so the "bait" is easily removed by your target predator.

I think I'll have to try my chances with the tilapia strips. They'll get hungry enough or they'll simply be out of luck.
 
They should break sooner or later.

As stated, having competition from other fish provides "in-situ teachers" and usually helps speed up food recognition.
