One of my Indo-Pacific House Geckos got loose and jumped in the aquarium and was promptly eaten by an appreciative smallmouth bass. The green sunfish seemingly ate only one pellet. I knew he would be the first to break. He's too greedy and fat to resist food.

awesome!

as for the green sunfish, this is good news because now that it realizes pellets are food, it will gradually eat more, and then the others will soon follow its lead.

It's a five dollar lizard that moves like Spiderman and a mouse mixed together on drugs, so that is that. I hated to feed that nasty little varmint anyway. Anyway, the bluegill also ate one pellet but decided against any more for tonight. The smallmouth bass seems to be to full of delicous gecko to care about more food. Except when my stupid brother stupidly dropped an unthawed mouse pinkie in the tank on the way to feed it to my Florida Kingsnake, and the bluegill wolfed it down. So now I need more dead mice. Fantastic.

So while shopping for frozen rodents, I spy frozen silversides in the freezer of my local Petco. I pick them up and think that I can use the silverside scent and juice to flavor up the pellets so it tastes better for the fish. So, I first tested to see if they liked them. The smallmouth bass wolfed them down greedily from my fingers and amazingly the yellow perch swam up and ate the third one straight from my fingers. It was about a third his size :D/

! The green sunfish greedily snaps the pellets up and I think the pumpkinseed is 'catching on'.

Bass is nearly seven inches, the yellow perch is about four and a half inches, the p-seed is about three inches and the green is slighlty bigger, and the bluegill is about five inches.
