Hmmm.. It would seem that you and I have had quite different
experiences. I didn't do anything special that I recall. I kept my
Threadfins for about two years. I did lose a few of them early on, maybe
3, but once they figured out that they could eat the stuff I offered
them they were home free. They are planktivores in the wild, so you'll
need to offer them a lot of tiny live food at first, like daphnia. Did I
use daphnia..? I think I did...it's been awhile.
