I just aquired a pair of peacock bass they are about 1.5 inch I have tried some pellets but they turned there noses and wouldn't eat so I got blood worms but they seem to just mouth them and then spit it out any ideas on how to get these guys eating
 
Crank up your heat to 85-86. Make sure you have enough bubble aeration before doing this. Then try feeding again in a day or two. At 1.5" you can feed micro pellets and blood worms. If they are still not eating then try live black worms. Don't give feeders.
