Welcome to MFK! I moved this to thehybrid forum where you will likely get more responses. BP's are not CA/SA cichlids, they are hybrid. Good luck!

Starve them and then feeed them

Parrots are meant to be the easiest fish to please with any type of food.

I've had my parrot for several years. I picked him up from Petsmart, on sale. He was trained on either pellets or flakes. He now eats tilapiia and any kind of dry pellet, freeze dried krill and night crawlers. They're easy to train.

dun worry about it, they are greedy eaters. Once they are hungry and have no other choice they will eat for sure.
