I'm having trouble getting my Red Snakehead to start eating the frozen beefheart. I bought a pack of the SanFran brand pre-packaged frozen beefhearto n the weekend...and ive been trying to get him to eat it since monday...but i've had absolutely no luck...and he hasnt eaten since sunday afternoon...(is that too long? is he starving to death as we speak??)
so yeah...i try and feed it to him about 3 times a day...morning afternoon and night time...i usually put it in for about 20 minutes or so...and then take it out...and in the past 4 days have had no luck getting him to eat it...any ideas on how to get him to eat it??
should i go buy some fresh beefheart from the butchers and prep that to see if he will eat that instead?

what should i do?

Try frozen bloodworms instead. Anyway, some fish species can go 2-3 weeks without food. Snakeheads are tough, so I don't think he's starving yet.
