mmmmm i think Krills can be considered as prepared food heheh :D
so you got them to take dried krills? we have fresh krill here, but i'm trying to get them to eat ones which come out straight from the bottle without being frozen :)

Although they are not in the stickies there are a few threads with methods of training dats onto pellets.I can't link them with my phone but they should not be too hard for you to be able to find.

Most datnoid I have or had in the past took dried krills right away along with cut up shrimps. I never tried pellets tho.

thanks :) Yup i've seen the threads before, i'll try to search again :) Just curious if anybody has 100% success rates , Out of my 6 only 2 take pellets, I'm now trying to get another one to take pellets, but he wont have much chance to get at the pellets if he doesnt eat, the other IT with him takes pellets and eats fast, i Also have a Red mammon in the tank which now loves Massivore, but this is a problem less chance for the other IT to try it out.
