Bruce - I assume the fish are eating the blood worm and brine shrimp stuff. When you make some soft pellets mash a little blood worm or shrimp stuff and mold-knead it into the soft pellets. Pinch off pellet sized pieces, roll it and drop them into the tank. This will enhance the pellets and get the fish used to eating softened pellets. Then over a few days gradually reduce the worm and shrimp stuff that is kneaded into the pellets.
That's exactly what I'm going to do!! I call it the "Cody Plan"!
Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.
