how to get my peacock bass to change diet?
how can i get my peacock bass to start eating my pelets cause buying feeders is getting really expensive so i wanted to know how i can get em eating pelets or flakes there 5 inches and other is about 3 inches thanks
One way that MAY work is to make your fish hungry enough so that it will take the new food. Slowly introduce like one or two pinches/ couple of pellets each time when you decrease the amount of feeder you give it, and then don’t feed it for one or two days.
On the day you start feeding it again, start with the flakes/pellets. If it doesn’t touch them, feed one feeder fish and leave it again for another day.
This method usually works, and fish MOST OF THE TIME are not picky eaters.
Brine shrimp (live and frozen), freeze dried bloodworms, can also be good alternatives.
You can also go with the answer above and start breeding guppies in a 15 or 20 gallon. Wait for it to cycle though…
