My Indo Dat starved himself to DEATH!

I had four Indo's and three of them converted to pellets but one never did. The other three grew to 6" and the other one was still 2.5". After several attempts to convert him to pellets I decided to get serious. This time I'm not giving in. After almost 6 weeks of refusing Hikari Massivore and Carnivore pellets, Hikari Foodsticks, NLS 3mm and 5mm sinking pellets, this morning I found him dead. He was such a cute little split bar, if only I would have given him some shrimp in time he'd still be here.

I'm sorry for your loss, but i do think that waiting 6 weeks was a bit silly and this was the only and obvious outcome. It is a real shame but i think generally if they don't take pellets by 3-4 weeks then just feed it up on whatever it eats and then try again.
Sorry he died at least 3 eat pellets now.

I've read of people's experience stating they can go months without eating but now I know different.

Thanks you guys, I appreciate it. Adaptation is the key to survival and that one wouldn't adapt. It was sad to see him laying on his side at the bottom this morning.
