I know that when I first got mine the only thing they ate with gusto was live black worms. It cost me an arm and a leg to get them to a larger size where they would eat feeders well but even to this day they do not hit feeders hard when I add them to the tank. I can add a 100 goldfish to the tank and they simply pick them off one by one until they are gone. They do not thrash around and strike at them like piquiti or monos.
 
Good luck.. record a video :naughty:

allright ill attempt Blood worms.

black worms
 
HE JUST ATE 3 BLACK GOLDFISH!!! yes im out of the woods!!!

I have noticed that he wouldnt even go for the gold ones but rather the black ones i think this is because in the wild this fish migh have much less come upon a golden meal rather the more common guppy colored fish.
 
lol i would think there are some bright colored fish in the amazon
