he should be able to take down a earthworm? when i feed bloodworms he just sits low next to it and doesnt even look at it.Hoyo12;3332010; said:
Earthworms is one of the main thing many Knife keepers feed to... well... Knives. I do know that they do eat Earthworms, and people have done it. I feed most of my Knives Earthworms, just seems to be one of the main things that works, but with some Knives earthworms doesn't always work, but I have seen CKs eat earthworms. (Make sure you cut it up into smallish pieces, if it is too big, the CK won't be able to eat it)
Worth a try.
Worth a try.
One other thing. Live feeder fish is another thing you could try. This is the main diet for a CK, just like most Gars. Now, it will cost a bit more, but it would be the only other option besides starvation if feeding him earthworms doesn't work. Eventually they will except Pellets, but live feeder fish (Goldfish, Rosy Minnows, ect.) is probably your best bet.
right now he's in the same grow out tank as my little p.bass so i was hoping that both of them would stay on blood worms but i guess ill try paying for attentnion to him if he eats or not in the next couple of days then ill get some feeders. should the little p.bass be able to eat chopped earth worms? he eats blood worms now.
Throw in a cube at night, but definitely try to keep an eye on it to see if it's eating. You can also tell if they ate if they have a small lump on their side. I have yet to meet a CK that won't take bloodworms.
for the past couple days ive been leaving the lights off all day he comes out some days and stays on one side of the tank other days. buut still he hasnt eaten anything today he hasnt show his spots and hes been kind of flimsy. i just put two cubes in there for him and the other fish still nothingbenzjamin13;3332556; said:
