my pbass range from 8-11" i just don't want this guy to die from not eating. the pbass were always just too quick getting the food but the arow always found a way on getting the market shrimp but not quick enough anymore haha

if you do have a pond, try keep it inside a pond. because my fren did that to his 18" green aro... and it works.. no harm trying

just sharing my 2cents

unfortunately i don't have a pond that was my reason to put a divider up but thanks for the advice hopefully something works

i let mine eat feeder fish for a couple days, just put some in and left them and they were gone whenever he got hungry then later i trained him on pellets you could just try that not sure if its the best way but its one of the easier ways

unless hes too weak to hunt or anything for them..

to be honest he looks too weak to hunt that why i just drop carnivore pellets a few hours ago and ill check in the morning if he ate any.

my guess is the pbass was harassing the aro so its still stressed just give it time and try giving crickets too see if it eats :) if it eats then good
 
ill give that a try tomorrow....thanks to all of you for the advice!
