Yah this is a man made lake and is not connected to a waterway. War should I feed the little guy? I've heard of some people feeding them cichlid pellets wen they r mature but eat should I feed it now. Bloodworms?
Whatever you want, they will eat whatever. Treat it like a semi aggressive cichlid. A high quality pellet is the best bet, but they'll eat any fish food I've given them.
you could try spot feeding just to see if he's eating but eventually he should come around unless he's sick or whatever. You might want to try something like thawed frozen bloodworms to get him actively eating.
So I got some cichlid pellets for my little bluegill today but he didn't take to them. Any other ideas on what I should try? Or should I just keep trying to feed him the flakes and pellets and see if he comes around to them
I was gonna buy those but the cichlid pellets were the same price but was a bigger container. So I figured I would get my money's worth and get the pellets
I kept a bass i have a 10g in my garage as a kid for a few months with just nightcrawlers. It wasnt any way for the poor thing to live, but if you need to get a decent meal into him, he might go for it...
Oh and I really appreciate all the help. None of my family or friends keep fish so the Internet, this forum, and my lfs's r my only source of information and advice
