    Wouldn't the whole fish be better for it than fish strips?

    just leave the strips in there...may take a while for them to eat it or a few feedings before they take it.

    Yep that's true, I was concerned about the babies, so I had to force feed them twice, but today they started to pieces of trout, so be patient.

    They will eat.

    Also...check their temperature, I found that it may be the reason for not eating, well just my experience
