I'm trying to teach my Lima to eat frozen instead of live food. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?
 
Actually mine seems to prefer frzn bloodworms over feeder fish, just ben that way since I got him.beings its a catfish, anything with a strong smell should be enticing

I've been trying frozen blood worms and he just didn't seem interested. I think I finally found his weakness though. I saw him standing vertically in the tank so I knew he was hunting. I dropped some frozen shrimp in there and as soon as it passed his whiskers, he snatched it. :) I'm glad he likes shrimp. I'll keep feeding him that but still try to sneak in some other food here and there so that he gets variety in his diet. I'm hoping he'll take to blood worms in time.
