Then one could try live earth worms, live shrimp, etc., if really worried and want to get him started faster...

So, how long has it taken him?

 

[dudefish82]

2 weeks exact like you said patience is the key

2 weeks is quite within the norm but also may imply that the switch from his tank to the pond entailed some stress factors, which might or might not have been mitigated.
