You can use a sharp knife or a razor blade to cut them in to 4th. It could take a little bit of time for him to start eating them but don't give up.

Time for an update. :D

My oddball Indonesian datnoid one year later. Got him exactly on this day last year from LFS to aquarium tank.

Just grown an inch and a half haha. Two inches when I first got him. He's about three and a half inches now.

This picture was actually taken seven days ago. Got him at his best. Not exactly stable yet.


One year later picture. Ah I wish he stabled up for me on this picture like last week lol. Growing slowly and steadily.

Well it depends haha he would sometimes hide when he knows it's not feeding time... but when it's time to eat, he really knows and is right there waiting for me and follows me around when it's time to dig in. :] Intelligent fish! It's like he recognizes me.

:cool: He's now accepting massivore! Full-sized pieces! Woo hoo!! Moved him into a twenty gallon couple weeks ago. That ten gallon grow tank was starting to become too cramped.
