hi,

my stewartii refused pellets for three and a half week.
I put in five pellets, and after an hour I tokk five pellets out.

After nearly a month they took the pellets.
They did not slim out.
I concur with this but I have gone for 7 weeks before my C. maculata started to feed on carnivore pellets. Its no drama, I kept some large common driftwood cats which would readily devour any uneaten food and the snakehead would watch the catfish eat so it knew these pellets were food.
 
sorry for your loss, herman. how long did the marulia go without eating?
 
that sux about your fish,

If your fish is wild caught it may never eat pellet..

The best way i found to get a fish to eat pellet is to try
a few different brands of food.

If that doesn't work, you need to soak the pellet in a food
they like, like beef, shrimp or bloodworm.

When they get the smell of their favorite food they will
try it.
