I am just looking for any other native keepers and any advice they would be willing to part with . If this is a repeat thread please just delete this and let me know where the other is as I can't find it.
I currently have one ~3" pumpkinseed sunfish with three little <1" minnows to keep it company. I have some Java moss thriving with some Hornwort on the way. I also have a bunch of plastic plants and some gravel and rocks. I have been feeding the minnows tropical fish flakes, but the pumkinseed, Brenda, won't eat. I tried flakes and bread- both failed. I have moved on to Cichlid pellets but she won't touch them either. She is probably sulking at being captive now so I will give her a month or so before I really worry or anything. I have a little worm growing operation too for the odd protein shock . She ate a little piece of worm today in no time.
I should say I *think* that the fish is a she because of her bright green shimmering colour. Pictures will be posted in a month or so.
Anyways, any suggestion on how to make him eat the pellets, or if you would suggest any other fish I could add when I get my bigger tank set up?
