I have a beautiful little wasp fish.. He eats live ghost shrimp but I'm trying to convert him to frozen food. It's been 5 days since his last ghost shrimp and I've tried krill and a silverside. Nothing. Should I wait until night time and hope for the best?

My angler ate frozen food without any issue. I barely have to wiggle it for her anymore.

Now the wasp fish... He doesn't seem interested at all.

Suggestions would be helpful :)

I've trained a leaf fish to eat by using a feeding stick, first with live guppies, then fresh dead, and finally froze some guppies and after he took them he ate any frozen fish or strip of fish I offered. Took about 10 days, but he now eats anything frozen on the stick I put in front of him, though once I tried a frozen muscle and he spit it back out so I stick to fish.

I've read that they only eat shrimps, etc.. Don't really want to take a ghost shrimp and impale it on a bamboo skewer.

The hardest part is getting him to go after it quicker than my puffer can notice it.
