anyone else have trouble getting the bass on pellets ? lol .... i have mine which are fairly new like 2" long and i have been feeding bloodworms for the first few days then they decided i dont want that anymore i want brine shrimp and now thats all they eat is frozen brine shrimp they wont touch bloodworms, wont touch live food, and dont even look at sinking hikari pellets 2-3mm .... im running out of brine shrimp with a week and half ive gone through a single pack already lol, worst of it is the LFS is like a hour drive one way

anyone have any tips ? like can i starve em for a day or something and see if they take the hikari sinking pellets ? or what should i do ? i know when there bigger they'll eat pellets when they are hungry enough but now there metabilism is so fast i dont want em to starve to death either
 
My wild caught orino from snookn21 is too
But I have it a bit better
It loves shrimp so what I did was stuff the shrimp with pellets
It's working abit but I can't convert it completely
I have to rub the shrimp on the pellet for it to eat it

I've been having the same problem with my Orino from Snookn! How big are your Orino and how long have you had it? I'm going to try to feed shrimp to my fish today.
