That's a good thing imo. If you just picked up a bag of feeders from your lfs maybe your fish didn't want to kill themselves?

Try pellets, fillets etc.

I would just be careful, of any 1 of those rosies have a desease or parasite its game over.

Starve them for a few days, then offer some pellets, you will see significant gains in color, growth and health compared to feeders.

ye si know that feeders can carry disease and such, but i trust who i got them from.... but the growth rate from feeders is quite drastic.... and starving little bass isnt a good thing to do form what i ve read as there metabilism is so fast they will likely die from starvion, as they need to be feed numerous times a day

 

[richardhong]

ahhh good luck with them man. but feeders are a No No. they carry disease and your fish will get used to live food and thats a baddy baddy habbit !!

 

[rob1984]

Its a trusted breeder like I mentioned before, and I only give feeders once in a blue moon... Very unlikely they'll get feeders again, they only get it as a treat I guess ya can call it ?

Feed them frozen bloodworm 3-4 times a day for couple days, then cut it down to 1 time a day for the next couple days and then give them pellet. That what I did to my 2-3" bass
