eat raw shrimp? I've heard they'll love it as soon as they get a taste, but HOW to get them to taste it, is the question :confused: I've tried dipping the whole shrimp in... fail. I took tweezers and took a tiny piece off and dipped it in... fail. dropped a piece in with the dropper like I do with black worms... fail. I took the tweezers and grabbed a live black worm AND grabbed a piece of shrimp and dipped them in together... fail. Both went for the worm and the worm only. They know when "dinner time" is, so that's when I've tried these methods over the past two days. Somethings got to give lol. Any suggestions? :banghead:

:thanks:
 
Try feeding them live shrimp for a while, and maybe they will start to recognize the taste or smell.
 
They do eat live brine shrimp. They love it! Lol.
 
A few starving days help. Keep the feeding technique constant for recognition of feeding time.
