I don't live near any LFS with 20 for a $1.00 ,so I end up having to buy rosy reds at PetSmart where they are hand counted twice and 13 cents each. I know thats not much but it adds up when I'm feeding 40 to 60 rosy reds every other day and they run out of them often. I tried super worms but my Bass,gar,or pike cichlid won't eat them .I'm thinking of setting up a feeder tank .Can I order in bulk online ? I can't seem to find any web sites or would it be easier to just hit one of my favorite LFS and buy a weeks supply every weekend ? (pellet training is a B!@+$#!) Thanks

rosy reds

Originally posted by mistahoo View PostCity pets does discounts on bulk feeders if you want to go that route, but I tried and it just seems like a hassle; plus, you'd have to gut load the feeders which costs more $$ on top. I've been trying to pellet train my bass as well, but it is taking quite a while. I also picked up two more bass that were claimed to be "pellet trained" but seems to only eat live seeing how they chase all my dithers and constantly try to eat them but ignore pellets. You could starve them and constantly try to feed them the pellets to train them.Don't tell fish stories where people know you; but particularly, don't tell them where they know the fish.

Originally posted by mistahoo View PostYeah I am in the process of starving my bass right now. Fed him quite a bit of live, but not any more. My dithers, bichirs, plecos, and pellet trained fish eat everything the bass ignore, but eventually they'll give in from starvation.Don't tell fish stories where people know you; but particularly, don't tell them where they know the fish.

If you go that route I would split some shipping or something.Don't tell fish stories where people know you; but particularly, don't tell them where they know the fish.

I would say it's way much better than the feeders, nutrition wise but not sure if your bass would take it. You could starve them and then try feeding them the worms
