if you live in CA i'm sure you got a ***** around where you live. they sell silversides. also i feed mine krill. you are gonna have to feed him feeder fish until he starts eating them as soon as they touch the water. then start tricking him and throw in a piece of krill or silverside. after that you won't have a problem.

Most lfs sell silversides frozen. Just ask, they should have several different frozen fish foods. You can feed him ghost shrimp until he will eat the frozen food. I also bought raw frozen seafood mix at walmart in the meat department. Try putting in front of the powerhead. I tricked mine that way, and he eats anything I offer now.
