Help with wild caught trout.

[JHig]

Trying to get my little wild caught rainbow trout to eat something. The water is crystal clear, nice and cold, and nitrate/nitrite safe. Any suggestions?

How long has he been in there? make sure he gets used to the aquarium then he will start eating. try frozen bloodworms.

night crawlers

Try feeding it with the lights off. Try crickets and worms, live. It may not eat for weeks.

How big is it? The younger the wild fish the easier it will transition to tank life. I had a large sunfish n took one week for it to swim around n another week to eat.I always wanted to throw one of them rainbows I catch in a tank, Good Luck
