What to feed picky baby poly?

[flamenco-t]

I got a baby 3" Poly Delehzi last week, he's currently in a QT tank. I tried to feed him the following:

frozen bloodworms - nope..
frozen krill - took a bite and spit it back out
frozen silverside - took a bite and spit it back out
frozen market shrimp - never even too it while it was in front of his mouth
small piece of beef heart - same thing as the above.

Any other ideas ? I really hate having to feed him a feeder guppies..as they contain disease and I am out of tank setup to QT the guppies

Any thoughts and suggestion are much appreciated.

Happy holidays

live worms should do the trick
earthworms or blood worms

I used to have a picky poly. When he gets hungary enough,he will eat. Try the feeders but dip them in salt first to kill the bacteria on them. Ghost Shrimp work as well.

I noticed when polys are small they can be very picky eaters. Here is what I do, they love bloodworms so it usually will work. I break up carnivore pellets into tiny pieces. They will also take shrimps if you chop it up into super fine pieces.

just starve them til they eat.
they will eat anything you give em eventually.
