Starving

[benzjamin13]

Well...it's been a week since I've bought live food for any of my fish. The only one that was really dependent on live feeders is the Chinese Perch. The closest I'm getting is him eyeballing the Hikari Carnivore Sticks that I throw in there, which the catfish greedily takes all. My RCK spits it out. This is the first time I've had issues feeding with Hikari! But this is the first time I'm using the Carnivore Sticks. Any advice?

Ben, I'm kinda at the same place with my perch. I've just been trying to get them onto shrimp. And have been using a cheap $1.49 Ocean Nutrition feeding prong to attach the shrimp too.

I know rallys got his on pellet. Not sure how though. One of my perch has been starving for two weeks I bet. He just won't take shrimp.

try shrimp from the market before trying dry foods.
works better IME.
try starving him for another few days.

Im in the same boat guys. I got the same fish thats not eating. Its been about 9 days without food for that fish. Ive been trying hikari gold pellets and Krill. I tried a few times with silversides and he dont go for it either. I dotn know what to do other than keep starving him, but im worried about how long the fish can hold out before it dies from starvation.
