1.5 Inch baby oscar not eating freeze dried bloodworms food ?

[benn371]

I bought a 1.5 inch baby oscar yesterday and I tried feeding him with freeze dried bloodworms but he's not eating in the Local Fish Store Where I bought him, they fed live fishes as they have in a group of 10-15 1.5incher in a tank.. He barely eats only koi pellet ???? Today can try giving him live feed like small fish or probably an earthworm.

Try small feeder guppies or live brine shrimp. At that size, he will only eat live foods, you will have the task of getting him used to eating freeze dried foods, flakes and/or pellets.

When I put in freeze dried bloodworms he chews it and spits out but when putting pellets there also the same thing happen but sometimes he eat them in a day he eats max 3-5 pellets goes into belly.. I'm really worried about his diet now, probably I should get him small feeder guppies and earthworm as you said..

Freeze dried Blood worms ahould be substituted with Brine shrimp the Krill and earth worms as he gets a little bigger.
