New to Peacock Bass

[Makoa]

Hey guys I'm new to this site and I must say this site is awesome especially if you need advice on Peacocks. Here are a few pics of my new P's I got about a week ago. All 3 of them are about 6 - 7 inches and finally I got them to eat some bloodworms because they won't eat ANYTHING ELSE!!! ( well maybe feeders ) but I don't want them eating feeders all the time. Here are some pics of them and since this is my first time having P's what type of P's do I have they never told me at the fish store what type they are.

I have gotten them to eat dried Krill but only one eats it and sometimes he spits it out. They are very picky eaters!

Thanks fellow No Ka oi. Last night I did get them to chomp down some krill but I'll go to the market and get some shrimp and see what they do to that.
