Just Mysis shrimp about 5 minutes ago and she took it with enthusiasm...I tried one piece of chopped shrimp but swam away from it
They are not fussy. If they refuse, fast them until they cave which won't be long. Mine liked fleshy aquatic / sea foods, fish and fish pieces. Pellets were taken with less vigor.
I'd stop with blood worms after 1"-2". Nothing wrong with blood worms, just too expensive and ineffectual.

I got it to eat raw shrimp out of my fingers last night...she took it like a crazy person...so no more blood worms and mysis for this guy lol = clean tank!
Don't let the shrimp account for more than 1/3 of the diet unless the other offerings contain a lot of vitamin B1. Shrimp along with most other crustaceans will lead to B1 deficiency due to high thiaminase content.
