So I got my peacock bass about a week ago and I want to try and get him off of bloodworms as soon as I can (he's draining my supply). What's the best way of getting him to take something else. And also what would be a good staple? He's currently 3-4". ATM I have just about any type of market fish, freeze dried krill, jumbo carnisticks (I break them in half for my smaller bunch) various floating cichlid pellets, sinking carnivore and massivore. So what's the best way to get him off bloodworms and what would be the best staple at this size?

When I start a growout that won't take anything but blood worms I usually just cut them and offer easily swallowed pieces of tilapia. I have a coosae bass right now and I have to use scissors and cut tiny tiny slivers of tilapia. just cut back the blood worms and offer tiny cuts of tilapia with them until you are only offering the tilapia. Thats worked for me with every fish I've broken off bworms.
