What do you feed creek chubs

Specs,perch, walleye, cats. Posted 03 December - AM I mean they eat some nasty stuff and when they get big enough they start to look darn ugly and people still eat them , I didn't mean they taste bad, just saying that if a nasty bottom feeder that loves rotten chicken livers tastes good, creek chub might not be so bad!!!! Posted 03 December - AM Apparently they taste like brooktrout.

Actually have also nabbed a few largemouth there too. Its quite an interesting little creek. Very large shiners too. Posted 05 December - PM Totally depends on the water body. Homework on what? The cleanliness of the water you mean? Posted 06 December - AM What sewage treatment plant is up river I can't believe how much attention this threads getting! Posted 06 December - AM I think everyone is jonsing for ice.

Posted 06 December - PM Sure they are chubs and not fallfish? Posted 07 December - PM Yep. No fallfish around here. Big chubs. Huge actually. Posted 07 December - PM Alot of people fish for them to use as walleye bait and obviously these are far too large so they get thrown back after a good feed of worms. Posted 07 December - PM Just fry them and lets move on. Posted 07 December - PM Giv'r, interested to hear what a big chub in your mouth tastes like.

Itsadeepbluesea Goliath Tigerfish. MFK Member. Apr 6, 2, 1, Just curious for all those out there who have creek chubbs, what do you feed your little guys? Jul 19, 1, 4 36 missouri. Ive never had them, but some of the guys on Nanfas North American Native Fish Association forum have had Creek chubs, Redspot Chubs, Fallfish etc and can help you I do know from watching them in streams around here they are very fast and skittish.

A book I have American Aquarium fishes says to feed them scuds, small minnows, crickets, and underwater insect larvae. Jul 22, 1 48 GA. In all honesty, they will eat just about anything that fits in their mouths. While they are omnivorous, they high protein foods as opposed to veggie matter.

But in captivity, their appetite and voracious feeding habitats, they will eat anything. Careful if there are any other fish in the tank - as they will not hesitate to eat fish smaller than itself.

You may eventually decide not to keep all 4 creek chubs in there for the duration. They grow fast and will become eating machines. I've had some success with feeding at two separate areas of the tank simultaneously to separate the fish, but I've never tried that many creek chubs at once with something else that eats the same food.

Reply to this topic. Posted 10 August - PM Just picked up 4 creek chubs tonight. Three are 5" and one is 6". They're sharing a 30 long with a 2. Yes I'm warfare the chubs can get to big, when they do I'll out them in their own 40 gallon or in my 75 with a bunch if other both native and tropical fish.

The sunfish has been eating cichlid pellets mainly but also brine shrimp and bloodworms. What would be a good starter food for the chubs? I'll feed them tomorrow morning. They're already far more active than my original creek chubs I had a few months ago that died from getting beat up by my green sunnie so it's good that these ones are being peaceful between each other. Posted 10 August - PM Ok well in an attempt to feed my green sunfish who didn't eat tonight from stress the chubs ate a good bit of frozen brine shrimp.

Not very voraciously but they still ate it. Sunfish is also being more aggressive towards the chubs so hopefully they make it but otherwise they were a good workout since she used to just sulk all day.
