hi all
i have 2 baby pbass, got them 3 days ago. problem is they wont eat, only 1 small baby devil which hardly fill them up, is there any way to entice to eat? they look skinny . what temp. and tank mates are good to push them to eat?
i've tried brine shrimp, blood worms, guppys, feeder crays, pellets they all rejected. gave them a handful of baby salvinis and devils, only saw them ate one, their belly is still skinny. any suggestion for solutions?

thanks heaps
 
If water params are good then boost temp to 82 to 84. Give then places to hide... They will eat
 
Well I have 3 heaters in my tank and its 84ish... I'd like it higher but trust Boostin he is the "obie" one lol
 
Yep....keep the temp around 85 to 89, throw some dithers in and throw some small rosy reds in the tank.
 
i also keep my tank at 87 degrees.. let us know if there still not taking in any feeders.
 
Give them some time they are adjusting to their new surroundings. I keep my small pbass tanks at 88 degrees or better. Leave a few feeders in the tank they will eat. I don't use dithers with my pbass.
