I did a google search and read a few threads mentioning power feed or power feeding. How can I power feed my baby p bass?

One of them is really skinny and not eating. I’m feeding them frozen bloodworms. The skinny one mouths it and spit it back out.

Would love to feed them massivore pellets but they not even mouthing any pellets.

I do not want to feed them live food.

They in a quarantine tank with water tank at 84 degrees

usually the term just means to feed your fish a lot to bulk them up. usually meaty food. feeding more also means u should do more water changes.

Is there a technique?

Feed them until they belly fat once a day? Twice a day?

I read in one thread he said feed them 6 times a day in small portions.

I do a 50% water change every 2 days with prime and api stresscoat

Are you feeding your bass any meaty foods, like fish chunks? Bloodworms have little nutritional value

Damn just bloodworm. I thought bloodworms had good amount of nutritional value. Fish chunks such as cut up talipa?

They about 2 inches big.

everyone does things a lil different. what i do is pick a food they go crazy for. for my fish, they go crazy for live blackworms. when i power feed. i feed them whenever they beg for food when i come up to the tank. it means they want to eat, so i feed. so maybe like 4-10 times a day. or however many times they beg for food when i come up to the tank.

Tilapia and trout are great, earthworms are good if they'll accept them

since theyre 2" like u said. i think feeding them live blackworms would be good in my opinion. i know u said u dont want to feed live. but i am pretty sure they would go crazy over live blackworms.
