Use mosquito fish wich you can easily breed, guppies likewise. You can also use frogs, slugs, deshelled snails, worms and "snake sandwiches" wich you can easily produce yourself. Very young tilapia, convicts and even cat fish fillet can be as well used.
have you tried holding the silversides with tongs and teasing him into thinking they are aliveBottomfeeder;4264012; said:Unfortunetaly, he refuses all but live or fresh killed fish. He won't eat worms, whole or chopped, or any kind of fillet, or even fresh Silversides.
Bottomfeeder;4264742; said:Yep.
Bottomfeeder;4264781; said:Yep. Only live fish. And no stores around here sell Mosquitofish or feeder Guppies.
There ya go. Also Im shure if you look long enough even localy you will find mosquito fish, they have been introduced globally to figth mosquitos. And guppys every pet shop has them.ceeej31;4264790; said:have you considered breeding your own?
