I have a freshwater perch that has been wild caught and I'm trying to switch it to peeled prawns from my local supermarket.

It's been 9 days without food and the fish still won't take any notice of the prawn. How long should I go before I give up?

Any other ideas for food?? Imported prawns are the most cost effective I could find. Even bait prawns are more expensive. Live crickets seem about on par with bait.
