Funny...came home today and was going to post this thread. I havent been active on here before, and its been awhile since I have kept natives (when I was a little kid). Now I am on a collecting license with the university that I work at and attend. Today we went seining and caught a ton of different fry. So now I have a smally who is a little under an inch. Super duper cute. Tried to get him to take newlife spectrum the first day, but no luck. It excited him, but he couldnt figure out what to eat. I accidentally started a food culture outside in one of our aquaculture ponds that went almost dry, and he is greedily accepting the little bloodworms that I am sucking out. Yours is a little too big for that though.
 
Massivore and Carnivore pellets apparently work from what I have read.

Anybody get a smallmouth to eat floating koi pond pellets?
 
woohoo i got my smallies to eat blood worms today!!! The bigger one was not impressed an spit them back out but the small one seemed to like them. :D
