peacock only eats live food, any suggestions?

try frozen bloodworms...once he is on those go for the frozen bloodworm/pellet combo.

I had 2 that did the same. What I done was freeze cut up shrimp,bloodworms and massivore pellets and made into a cube and fed him small pieces at a time. He went on pellets 1 week later.

Im still working with mine but they showed no interest in anything but guppies. They dont like pellets and ignored bloodworms and brine shrimp. Amazingly enough, they seemed to like the look and taste of cut up silversides. I cut up the food to just slivers so they wouldnt be too much bigger than guppies and the bass loved it. They still wont explore other options but im at least happy theyll take frozen foods. Any luck so far?

We've gotten lucky that all our baby bass except bloodworms. After they get about 2-3" we give them tilapia cut into pieces. We haven't had a problem yet, good luck!
