@pitbull0592 i got 6 baby bluegill with mosquito fish they didnt eat the first day so i let go of the mosquito fish so they can get comfortable the next day i tried tropical flakes but they pit it out so i tried somethik with shrimp or meal so i tried betta flakes cuz i have one and they eat it and also worms work
@77QRICARDO thanks but mines are adults about 4-6 inches long i got them to eat mosquito fish on the second day but cichlid pellets, no, flakes, no, worms , havent tried and im in a jam and dont know what to do
@pitbull0592 okay so how long have you have them and do u have other fish in there? if you have them for a couple of day and you have a cichlid in there most likely the are scared and really stressed or if u have a bigger fish then the bluegill remove them for about 2-3 day then return him to the tank or put the bigger fish in a bloating bag like the ones they give you with the fish at pet store or a big breeding net for a while for the bluegill to get comfortable
You're going to need a bigger tank very soon obviously. Bluegill are extremely hardy. One of mine has officialy died TWICE and came back to life. He's in my tank now, his name is Jesus. And they eat ANYTHING and EVERYTHING, including fingers. Mine survives mostly on goldfish and nightcrawlers. But it is hard to get them to accept pellets. I've had mine for over a year and he still won't eat them. You need a tight lid too, they're jumpers.
If you just caught him DO NOT turn the lights on, give him some time to get used to the new habitat, Because if you don't he will try to jump out and hurt himself, I am having the same issue right now with mine, I just caught him yesterday and he is still getting used to the tank I put him in.
pgh dont get a crappie i had one they are so fuckking boring.. it starved himself to death i tried feeding him crickets worms feeder fish pellets he didnt like anything.. ;( now i got 6 bluegill 1 sunfish and a oscar.
real easy to take care of i have 2 in a 55 gal with koi an cats. just feed them lol they eat anything and just keep an eye on them some can be aggressive towards other fish luckily mine aint lol
I had Bluegills (2) and 3 small Brown Bullheads in a 55 gal tank and were doing very well. The male began beating up the female, so I put him in his own 20 gal tank. Feeding them flake food, frozen blodworms, earthworms, small minnows, and small goldfish.
Their colors are quite brilliant during breeding season and they will eat worms from my hand. Keep the water exceptionally clean by frequent 20% water changes and more filtration than tropicals. Don't overfeed!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this is no life for a bluegill or u need to at least catch another one you probably took it away from its family so please catch other one it looks so lonely.
it depends on how big the jacks are and how big the bluegill you put in isif the bluegill is larger then the jacks you should be fine, but my bluegill even tried to take on an oscar he got some scales off the oscar, so they can be aggesive if they want to
did the fish seem too big for the tank? i've heard some wild caught fish stress themselves to death in captivity and thats the symtoms (not eating, staying in corners, banging into glass, sluggish movement)
EGAD!!! I just noticed the fruity pebbles in the bottom of the tank. BLASPHEMY!!! Allow the fish some dignity. Get native rocks, gravel, and plants. Enjoy.
As a staple, I fed mine earthworms and raw, shelled frozen shrimp that I got from the grocery store. Whenever I went fishing I would catch small frogs and baitfish to feed to him. He even got a small lizard once. Steer clear of mice and such. Anything with fat is bad for them. I've been told that beef liver is ok though. Bluegills are great. Try decorating the tank with some rocks and native plants.
You are gonna need a bigger tank for a fish that size. Since you posted this video over a month ago, I'm sure that the fish has acclimated to the tank and ate the smaller fish. If you have never kept a bluegill as a pet, you are in for a treat. I've had a few bluegills. They can be vicious. You need a REALLY good filtration system. Splurge on an external canister system rated for at least twice the tanks size. These fish make a lot of waste.
that was just his 1st home tank, he is now in a 20 gal. tank with an albino frog, and i yes he ate the minnow he was sposed to lol, i got some big rocks and shells in his new tank, he dont like plants he tears them up lol, and i got a filter for a 30 to 60 gal tank , and he eats shrimp, worms, and minnows
I have a blue gill with my other fish.( gold fish) they have been tank mates almost 1 yr now. No problems.

feed it earthworms or mealworms but if your bluegill likes going to the top of the water than feed it crickets
