what to do?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'm feeding my native sunfish market shrimp, earthworms and nightcrawlers, crickets, superworms, selectively feeding krill to the longear to bring out his red coloring plus lots of june bugs and yard goodies.

I kind of rotate all of the above. Right now I'm out of superworms and crickets, but there are plenty of june bugs around.
 
They should be taking down the worms w/a little more time.
 
There may be varying opinions on this, Usually are :) But i feed mainly pellets, but with new aquisitions, I start off with freeze dried and frozen, Mysis, brine, bloodworms, etc. Then gradually move to pellets, but still feed the others as a treat, or suppliment, I have yet to get a Native fish to take flakes of any kind. They just take them and immediately spit them right back out.
 
thanks for the help guys. I will keep rotating food so they get all round protein, and vitamins.And throw in some extra treats every now and again
 
they started eating! Now i'm going to pick up some small worms and other critters to feed em.
