They'll eat anything you throw at them, except the lures I try to catch them with!My LMB grew 10" in less than a year. Be careful what you're getting into. To put it in perspective, this fish will eat everything you throw at it. Grubs, locus, crickets, shrimp, minnow, chub, worms, any bug, goldfish, frogs, you name it. They have no fear, and are always hungry. I have a creek that supplies minnow and crayfish. He will eat 20-30 minnow in 5 minutes. 10 large goldfish. Just letting you know - this is no cichlid.![]()
Well of course yiou can feed em rosy reds, but you can easily get them on frozen foods. A good one to start with is mosquito larva , then brine shrimp and blood worms
