Give a break of 1-2 days and try the pellet. Most will take. Won’t be too difficult.

Mine used to take close to a month. I just jam the pellets into frozen food.

Well i use that as their main diet, but if you want you can do thst and start cutting off bits of the frozen food until it's mostly pellet

I agree with kno4te and A AaronKWolfe .

Make sure pellet is small enough for the Polypterus to swallow.

Make sure pellet doesn't land on head.



Suggest to try Hikari Sinking Carnivore, this little guy took to it right away.
