yeaaa!!!!! boooo to this because mine are the same way and the fish on pellets tend to grow twice as fast!
yea I think so as well. I am at the point were I just may starve them out for a month to get them on pellets. It's funny because I have starved them for a few days and feel bad so I start right back with the shrimp but I am going to try to get everybody on pellets soon.

I personally like the Bio Gold. On the expensive side but all of my cichlids love it. Only draw back I find here is the price at $20.00 a bag and I have yet to find a LFS that sells large pellets only medium.
