My jag is a very picky eater and will eat pellets sometimes. I alwys through some in but he won't touch them. I know there is many methods of getting them to eat pellets and believe me I have tried it a million times. I once went 10 days without feeding the tank a single thing. I left lights off and everything basicly a blackout. 10 days later I tried with pellets he was quick to slurp them in, but just spit them right back out and left the rest. If I through in Frozen krill or brine, you can't even see it hit the water. Is there anyway I can provide a healthy diet without using pellets??? like I know the staple should always be pellets, all my fish are on cichlid bio gold+. Even my saltwater predators are trained to eat marine carnivore pellets and are only fed treats once in a while. I understand the importance of pellets although in this case it's a fish who would rather starve to death. Is there a good mix of foods that I can feed regularly to make sure it is a great diet??? krill, brine, worms, etc???
Diet Without Pellets??

kent makes zoe which is good......all the traditional foods are pretty good....shrimp, smelt, krill
Ten days is nothing. Go 2 weeks and I bet he'll chow down on some pellets. The fact that he spit them out means he wasn't that hungry.
You make me feel lucky. Both my Jags will eat anything that hits the water. Pellets, flakes, fresh, frozen, or live.
mine is pretty picky.
for a while he would eat pellets. then he stopped. then he was all into krill. now that's gone. now he loves frozen bloodworms and mysis shrimp.
i really want to get mine back onto pellets. will do the starving technique
