I've been feeding BSFL to my Redears everyday for about a week and they are taking them with enthusiasm. They do have a preference for the immature larvae over the coffee colored prepupal larvae. It's a lot easier to feed the dark larvae because they self harvest and they're cleaner. Now that the fish have gotten used to the immature larvae I'm going to start substituting the dark larvae. I think they'll adapt to them fairly quickly.
The video quality gets reduced when I upload it but if you watch carefully you can see some FH trying to hit a few of the larvae. I guess it's good to dream big.
I only have 24 large RES in my pond but they're concentrated in one place for spawning. The small RES in the video are the 1 1/4 inch fish I stocked in late March.
