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.
