I've been starving my jardini for the past 2 an a half weeks to try and get him onto pellets. About 4 days in he scratched up his eyes and got hit with a bacterial infection and got pretty bad cloudy eye hes been treated for that and its 98% gone. Hes been showing literally zero interest in pellets so I thought i'd offer him some food just to see if he would eat but zero interest in sw and crickets has been for the last 3 days now. Is this normal? im going away for a month in 9 days so i wanna get him eating. hes about 11" the water parameters are nitrates 10-15ppm, nitrite 0ppm, ammonia 0ppm ph 7 and temps about 82
 
i used white bait from mine was young but every so often between fedings through in a few pellets he tends to eat a few.not plannin on switchin to pellets full , prefer to give him a bit of variety. He could just be stressed , 2 days to get mine to eat after i did a massive decor change.
