Anyone using the new food from Hikari called Massivore Delite??
I just special ordered a small bag of it, because I cannot find it in any of my LFS..
My WC Jag is so fussy!!!!
I have tried almost every pellet food on the market..
This is going to be my last attempt at pellets with this fish for a long time.. When I purchased this WC from Rapps he or she (not sure of the sex of the fish) was pellet-trained.
The fish was eating Hikari Cichlid Gold X-large pellets with NO problems.
Then I started mixing in some freeze-dried krill and that was working well...
Then the fish started not eating the pellets, so I started giving it what it wanted more krill!
Then it said NO more pellets for me... So I started trying every possible variety of pellets from Hikari with no luck.
Being I was worried that all the fish was getting was krill, I started live superworms, at first the fish didn't eat them.
Well now you guessed it, he only wants superworms and spits out the krill!!!
Hikari Cichlid Gold (used to eat it no prob) not anymore.
Hikari Cichlid Excel (never touched it)
Hikari Cichlid Bio Gold + (never touched it)
Hikari Food Sticks (never touched it)
Hikari Sinking Carnivore (never touched it)
Omega One Cichlid Pellets (Large Pellet) (ate 1 pellet one time)
And now my last try with this new product from Hikari called Massivore Delite which I hope is just not a larger size pellet of there sinking Carnivore product.
These new pellets are going to be the test for this fish. After I finish the last shipment of my superworms I am not going to give in again.
Here are the specs on these new pellets, they sound pretty good.
Massivore Delite is a complete, nutritionally balanced formulation, developed for BIG carnivorous fish whose main diet of live food tends to cause nutritional deficiencies. Using Massivore Delite instead of live foods reduces the chance of infection from parasites or bacteria found in most live foods while eliminating the pollutant effect many live foods can create.
