That doesn't mean I can't try it again with same species and use same methods again. Maybe I'll be successful and maybe not. You need to starve them to get them try on new foods. Otherwise you won't know for sure if you don't try. Some predators can be successfully converted to dry foods, others of same species won't touch the dry foods. Perhaps you should rethink of what you did said to me few posts ago for criticizing me for being bad caretaker to the predatory fishes because they got died of starvation while many fish keepers made lot of mistakes that got their fishes killed. Many cichilds got killed by their own mates, does that means they shouldn't have that species? Or what about piranhas being cannibalistic that they ate one of their own, does that means they shouldn't have piranhas?Honestly it doesn't bother me at all i just think that if your not willing to provide for a animals needs then maby you shouldn't be getting the animal whatsoever. Its the same debate as putting large fish like snakeheads in 30g tanks why do we not do this? because the fish will get stunted from water quality and die a lot earlier than it should. So if we shouldn't care about a fishes eating requirements then maby we shouldn't care about its housing ones either?
Im all for converting predators from live food to pellets but if the fish wont take them then i do think you should revert back to live food before the fish does starve to death. Its one thing trying to convert from live to prepared but not feeding live to a extent of the animal dying as a result of not eating is another.
And im far from emotional lol just pointing out if aquarists dont care for the species then maby we shouldn't care to the extent of spending $$$ on housing
Some people are so sensitive these days.
