Ok so I'm running low on feeders and was wondering what else will it eat I have so hikari carni and beef heart but I don't think he will go for tht stuff. I tried giving him blood worms and he didn't eat it and all it did was name a mess in the tank which sucks cause anyone who owns a wolf fish knows tht ur hand shouldn't be in the tank lol
 
starve him a few days, try prepped food like tilapia or salmon. If you can't get that right now, use that beef heart and get him taking something other than live.
 
I got my wolf off live food by tying earthworms to fishing line and wiggling in front of his face. Then I cut the worms and stuffed then with broken up carnivore pellets (this is difficult and kinda gross) and tied it to the fishing line. Eventually the wolf started to realize that the fishing line was associated with food and would eat anything on the fishing line so I started tying carnivore pellets to the line. And of course, he ate it. In my experience it's not that they are picky eaters, it's that they need to have something to show them that pellets are food too

I had a wolfish at one point. Pellets/Frozen are the way to go.
 
Just hand feed him its no big deal :) I hand fed all my wolves and they never just bit me.. Unless I wanted them too
 
I guess I'm lucky or my wolf just a nasty eater. I used to fed my wolf exclusively live feeder from baby 1.5 inch to 6 inches and 1 day I just throw a frozen melt at schedule feeding time and it just took it right a way after that I stopped feed it live feeders, now its eat whatever hit the water :) and my wolf won't hesitate taking food off my hand...it's bite extremely fast and strong and kinda make me nervous though...I might get a bite mark from it someday...
