Update: the lap started hitting pellets recently and I’m super stoked! The congi is the only guy who’s still being stubborn. I feed my fish massivores one day and tilapia the next. The smallest one is my semi sb endli around 12”. The longest is the teug. Around 16”
Sweet Lookin Polys! Have u considered using red garnet sand? Just thought I’d ask. If so, your polyfanatic neighbor,

can steer u in the right direction. They’re cheap per 50lb bags and there’s locations in your area.
I've thought about it but nah... lol. Mostly because my tank is acrylic and scratching it is super easy. If I have sand and I'm not paying attention to the magnavore magnet while cleaning I'll leave scratches everywhere.Sweet Lookin Polys! Have u considered using red garnet sand? Just thought I’d ask.

So you trust the magnet ? I have acrylic and have been reluctant to use one. Doing by hand is a p.i.t.a
yeah its the best. But I don't have sand so that makes it easier.
Update:
All of them are doing great, their appetite has increased a lot and everyone except my congi eat pellets eagerly. I'm not in a hurry to train the congi to accept pellets but I am confident that he'll start eating them soon. I see him lookin / sniffing the pellets.
The Moke (around 16") and the congi (around 12"):
This guy is still dark as night
The lap's appetite has increased tremendously! I remember when I got this guy he used to eat once a week but now he's always hungry:
My green PBB:
The spoonhead PBB, this guy has trouble scooping food off the ground without lifting up his rear end due to his unique head shape lol but still eats like there's no tomorrow
And finally here's the semi short body endli... When I got this guy he looked normal but over the past year he's only been growing vertically and not horizontally lol:
