Sticklebacks

[Marine/Freshwater?]

A few years back I bought a couple dozen shiners that had a Nine-spine Stickleback mixed in. I can probably get a hold of a few more but this time I want to be able to keep them alive. The stickleback I had never ate anything. Does anyone now what to feed them? Mine would not even eat mysis shrimp.

All you can do is try everything you can- live bloodworm, glass worm, brine shrimp, daphnia, fry etc. to start off with (if prepared isn't taken), then gradually move on through frozen to pellets etc.

well im not sure if they are the same as the stickleback i catch down my local canal, but we always catch them on accident on maggots, that are bought from my local tackle shop.
Im not 100% sure the maggots are safe but if someone who knows more about these fish says its ok then go for it.
