I have found no tried and true method to get them on fish meal other than just quitting the other feed for an extended period-we are really messing with mother nature here.
We can feed krill based starters but if we have to keep them on the largest premium starter, it's going to cost big money to continue that long term.
I'm told the krill has a flavor or "taste" very similar to zoo plankton, so there is a part of the puzzle. How do we get the fish to transition to fishmeal ? Time and effort is all I know that will work.

This makes perfect sense Snipe. Presented with no other alternative, fish will eventually make the transition. Very interesting the adjustment fish trained on krill have to make. Thank you for sharing this.
