Paddlefish.....

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Will they not feed on micro pellets? Any other time of year I'd have lots of Daphnia magna, too hot right now. Try using a feeding ring and micro pellets. A feeding ring will let the pellets rain down slowly in a limited place. Hikari makes a good pellet.
 
I've had some success with target training paddlefish to feed from the end of a feeding stick (ridged airline tubing). They'll take small shrimp that way.
 
Mine eat certain types of koi pellets and arowana pellets right from the surface. They are picky and will spit out ones they don't like. I also give them frozen glassworms in the cubes, they just eat the whole cube as well as chunks of frozen brine or krill.
