My babies were bown on November 6. I had them eating baby brine shrimp for about a month, and then I began feeding them live bloodworms. They're still eating live food at their age (approximately 3 months old) and I would like to start feeding them pellets instead of bloodworms. I got the smallest size pellets, which still seemed to be too big for them, so I chopped the pellets up into mouth-sized pieces. A few of the babies sucked the pellet food into their mouths, only to spit it out a few seconds later. Only one of the babies (one of my smaller babies) actually kept it down and didn't spit it out. Most of the babies totally ignored the pellet food.
Am I being premature with this? I thought that at three months old, they wouldn't need live food anymore. Or am I just being impatient? Maybe I'll discover a few hours later that the pellets have been eaten?
Thanks for any help.
