What d oyou feed your Pikes?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Mine wont eat anything but crickets, and frozen krill or shrimp. He may eat a pellet time to time but I've never seen it. He would eat any fish that fits in his mouth too but I don't like to feed feeders. Maybe I will set up a guppy tank one day.
 
mine eat blood worms, brine shrimp, beef heart and fish filets. They look at me like im stupid when i put in pellets, even after days of starving them.
 
hmm me thinks the lucius are picky eaters... :)
 
What does everyone feed their guys. Can't figure out what mine is eating or when as I actually haven't seen him eat anything in front of me. I feed Rosy Reds to my P-Bass am trying to get them to switch but my little 2 get beat on if I don't keep the big guy fed. I saw my pike grab a Rosy last night to only turn around and spit him out. I've tried pellets which he spits out Carnivore and massivore, Cut up Shrimp, Bloodworms saw him grab a couple, Frozen BeefHearts. Anyone make thier own food? Hoping to get everyone over to canivore ad massivore pellets soon as feeders are going to make me broke.

That depends on if it's a pike, or a pike cichlid.
 
But assuming it's a pike cichlid since it's in this category - I would try brine shrimp.
 
hmm have you tried krill?
 
Have tried krill also, I exected he would eat with gusto but doesn't seem to.
 
I have a pike that will only eat frozen brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and bloodworms. Nothing else. Try those.
