I got the coppernose in last saturday within 2 hours of being stocked they were hammering newly spawned Fat Head minnows. But they will not take the starter food at all. And I do not see them chasing minnows like the first 48 hours. Now I have been feeding my Redear worms every day. At my other pond the coppernose were on the pellets within days and full on in a week. It has been 8 days now and you get minnows and a few RES to take the starter pellets but no coppernose. Should I stop feeding them red worms every day and make them eat pellets or not eat?
Half the fun of this is watching them come up and eat.
