red wigglers for pbass?

[iloveoscars702]

well its been two days since my new pbass ate(they at rosy reds on saturday) and i was wondering if red wigglers(worms) would be any good for them. mine are still 3 inches... cant find any black worms, but reds are the only thing i can come close to... need some feedback as soon as possible

You mean bloodworms? Yeah, they'll eat those up. And baby peacock bass need to eat 3 times a day dude.

mine wont eat blood worms, but red wigglers are like small skinny earthworms... would frozen brine shrimp or silver sides be any good?

you should have read and done some research before purchasing your pbass. Have you tried using your search options?

Sounds to me like they are live trained , now you have 2 problems
#1 You need to feed them and dont have time to quarantine the live food first .
I suggest you feed them soon or they will starve . When feeding any fish live food make sure you plan in advance. Set up a feeder tank where you can quarantine feeders for a few days and make sure to feed the feeders high protein food. There are a few disagreements over that but it works for me.
#2 Start non live training them unless you plan on spending a fortune on feeders. As was said earlier sit down and do some research i know there is a post about non live training somewhere in here .

i did the research, but i didnt know they were only going to eat live... thats why i have dry food not being used. most places ive looked said to feed em pellets or krill. but no look with mine... but it does seem one of like freeze dried brine shrimp.

btw i called RW and they said they feed them feeders and black worms... where do i get black worms in Vegas? lol and do you think the bigger fish are intimidating them, still a bit scared?

you can go to ur lfs store and see if they have them, they might be shy or just not used to the tank yet worst case try one of the red wigglers see if they take them and start from there, i also forgot i give mine some live feeders just as a treat every once in a while.

if they don't eat the wigglers make sure you take them out... only thing is they may get ever more spoked fishing out the dead worms..
