Hi, I just bought a baby clown knife. 2-3" . What are some good non-live feeding options. I took him home the same day the LFS got him, so not sure what he has been getting feed. I tried blood worms last night with no luck but he could still be adjusting to the new home. what do/have you guys feed your baby clown knifes? Thanks

Feed him Hikari Sinking Carnivore Pellets. Break the pellets into fourths and drop them in the tank at night when all the lights are out. The CK you have is the PERFECT size to get it onto pellets. It should accept them readily. Everytime I get a small CK, I always put him on a strict pellet diet starting out to get him eating them. I'm always afraid that if he gets into other things first, he may not accept pellets.

When the knife gets large, move onto Hikari Massivore Delight.
