<< I have what I believe to be an off-color green sunfish or hybrid. It is
about
5" long. Recently, it has stopped eating the dried tubifex I had been feeding
it. It will eat worms, but they are scarce now that cold weather has arrived.
I got some frozen silversides to feed it, but it refuses these as well. Any
ideas why it does this? The nitrate is fine. >>
I have had healthy sunfish that would eat anything but freeze dried or frozen
foods. Try some good trout pellets or good tropical flakes. It sometimes
takes them a while to learn n to eat them.
