The eheims are great and the krill is large and whole, but I'm having problems with my fish eating the pellets. I ordered the soft and moist krill 5mm and the earthworm sticks and my fish won't eat it no matter what. I've tried soaking them and even stuffing it in market shrimp but they keep on spitting it out. Anyone have any similar experiences or suggestions with these pellets?
My Oscars wouldn't eat the 7.5mm pellets. I fed the large Hikari pellets before this to them daily and they just wouldn't switch. They would do as you said, put it in their mouth and spit it out. I starved them for a few days and put a few pellets in,still didn't eat it. After this, I just put two pellets in, one for each Oscar. They would spit it out, I would take it out and do the same everyday until they learned that they better eat it or starve.
