About a month ago I picked up a 2 1/2 inch peacock bass from a nearby fish store. It was really healthy and I had an empty 75 gallon aquarium so I thought I would grow it out and then move it to a bigger aquarium. As expected it took about 4 days for it to start eating. I tried to feed it pellets at first because I know that that is the cheapest and highest in nutrition food. He simply would not eat it. I tried and tried until finally I gave him some frozen blood worms. Of course he destroyed it because juvenile pbs like blood worms and he didn't eat in a few days. So I have been feeding him blood worms for the whole time I have had him and now I want to get him off of it because I want to find something more nutritious. I have fed him one or two tiny feeder guppies that I got and quarantined. So I could essentially feed him two types of food but I know that other fish are not the best either. Many people will say continue to try pellets but I have tried everyday for the past month. It just doesn't work. I have also tried different brands of pellets. I want to know a good food for pb. If pellets are the only solution then how do I convert him to them? Or, should I give him time and continue to feed him blood worms? I want to know some opinions.
