Changed diet...

[solidconceptgroup]

I changed my P's food...I was feeding them live feeders. I started to feed them fish chunks, but they don't eat the fish right away...It takes them a few hours sometimes over night to eat everything up?

Any suggestions on what I could do?

they are not use to new food, stop feeding for couple days then try again

You can also feed them earthworms. Mine used to love them. Also, I fed mine cichlid carnivorous pellets.

They will take to it in time, but dont leave the food in over night... take it out after half an hour and try again later. leaving food to sit over night is a not good for them

Live or whole fish should still be part of their diet, feeding just fillets(muscle meat)isn't any better than feeding just live feeders.nothing you can offer will be as nutrient as live food, with whole dead fish coming in 2nd.a variety of foods should be offered.live fish, dead fish,fillets, beefheart,pellets, krill, shrimp, nightcrawlers, crawdads, leeches,ect. The more variety you offer the healthier your fish will be.

as long as feeders are disease and parasites free
