Hi, I have own a baby IT for 1 month already, and it hasn’t been eating the flake food that I gave, it would only take a bite and spits it out, however, when I offer live foods such as shrimp and frozen bloodworms, it would eat. I tried to starve it for 2 days but it is not interested in the pellets/flake food, and I have to feed it frozen bloodworms. What should I do?
Baby IT not eating pellets but live foods

What is a baby IT?
Also how long have you had it and what kind of tank setup do you have.
With new fish in general theres an adjustment period in which they may or may not eat. Or only eat certain things. You have to give it more time and also starve them for longer than two days before they start eating pellets or whatever else you are trying to offer.

alright, thx for the advice, an IT is an indonesia tiger aka datnoid, I had it in a small tank for it to grow and I’ll move him to my bigger tank, I had for 1 month already.
