I purchased two peacock bass about 3 days ago, and still have not eaten. I have tried floating pellets as well as krill. I really do not want to have to feed live. Any suggestions?

How are they if I was you I would probly try shrimp in small pices. If they dont eat it after 20mins make sure to take it out. Good Luck!

answered as I was posting
cut some shrimp up, open the tank lid, turn off all the lights but the tank light, stand about 8 feet away, and try to make the shrimp in the tank. should work, new owner and by doing that the fish can't really see you.
