i weaned my big pbass off of live by tossing in feeders then shrimp. he eats shrimp and earthworms now. wont touch certain things like krill but i kinda like it that way. the shrimp cost $3.99 for a pound of it raw.
with my smaller one i started him on bloodworms and couldnt get him to eat shrimp till i added him into my bigger tank and he just grabbed it so no one else would get any. he mysteriously died after he stopped eating after the first piece of earthworm he ever ate.
