To anyone that has their cats on pellets, I was just wondering if it is something you had to train you cats on or was it more like just toss them in and they took them. I'm trying to get a juruense to take pellets but I'll take feedback from anyone about any cat. I typically feed him chunks of shrimp and I would try to do the wrap some around pellets trick but for right now I think it would be too big unless I could get really skinny slices of shrimp. I guess I can wait until hes bigger to try that training method but I'd like to get him on pellets asap.
Catfish on pellets

I have 3 cats and only one eats the pellets. the others just eat the flakes. the cat that does eat them, no training needed. he probably likes the shrimp too much to just switch to pellets, plus thats what he's use to.
My RTC/TSN and my Marbled Pim like to sneak Ciclid pellets,when they think i'm not looking,sorry boys now that is all they are going to get!!!
my RTC x TSN hybrid eats pellets too =] but he just went up to the surface swimming and found out their could be food floating around on the top when he senses something hitting the water...so i guess he got used to hearing the pellets and sticks hit the top now hes up their whenever i walk in the room to watch and feed the guys
my TSN, Lima and giraffe cat all eat pellets and with the shovelnoses it was just a matter of them getting to know that pellets enter the tank everyday while "their food" was only 3-4 days a week. but the giraffe ate pellets from the start, funny watchin an 18in fish eat little shrimp pellets
I just learned that my new 18" TSN Eats Cichlid sticks.... must need a tooth pick cause I think he could eat the whole container and still eat a regular meal after LOL
I see. So for the most of you its just the availability of the pellets. I wanted to try to train my fish to take hikari's sinking carnivore pellets and then eventually do some massivore. Right now theres no other fish in with him so he cant scavenge any pellets from anyone. Any other good ideas on how to get him to start taking the sinking pellets??
That's weird...my RTC/TSN will not even touch pellets. He's hooked on shrimp, krill, and fillet.
My juruense won't even consider anything unless it's rosies...or sometimes the occasional bloodworm. I'm planning on putting the juruense on a "eat or starve" method once I beef him up a bit.
If you do get your juruense to take pellet, please share the secret but I'm going to be the next person to try it.

I am VERY familiar with that look.
