I have a datnoid and it won't eat pellets. It is still only about 2.5" so I didn't want to starve it for to long. The most I went was 10 days and it showed no interest in pellets at all. It is mixed on with cichlids that gabble them down I thought that might help. Monkey see monkey do but not yet. Anyway the question is I can get it to eat frozen krill and bloodworms also live black worms it will eat feeders but I won't use them because they already introduced a parasite I think but I cleared that up. It also ignores frozen silversides. So is krill bloodworms and live black worms a suitable diet to beef it up or is there something else I should try. Also what type of day is this it was sold as "wild caught gold datnoid"ImageUploadedByMonsterAquariaNetwork1354663170.997637.jpg

My datnoid loves chunks of tilapia. So to supplement that, I stuff massivore pellets into the center of the tilapia pieces and he gets them that way.

Like everlastace, i have had success with talapia fillet given to 2 to 3inch dats. I take scissors and cut tiny pieces of talapia fillet. To add nutrients i will stuff a few hikari baby cichlidgold in the piece of talapia. The bloodworms, blackworms and krill that your using are solid foods and they love em. I use bloodworms and blackworms for about a week after bringing them home to get the baby dat some calories after usually starving in a pet store. This fills their bellies and preps them for a few day of fasting to get ready for bulkier foods. gd luck with him, fine looking indo
