Thank you everyone for your suggestions! What is your dovii's primary diet? I mean mostly earthworms, or does everyone try to vary the diet?

Another trick that works is watching another fish eat whatever he's refusing usually that baits him in to try it but that's hard to pull off with real aggressive fish like dovii

Lol yeah, I am almost certain my dovii would tolerate another tank mate, but that is a good suggestion because I have used that method with my other fish.

Ive got a 19-20" monster dovii. He eats NLS 7.5 mm jumbo fish pellets. I also use freeze dried krill, nightcrawlers and tilapia fillet as treats.
Most of the time if you having problems getting him to.take a new food you will have to fast him for a day or two. Once hes good and hungry there is a better chance he will try them. Just keep trying and be patient he will grow to accept them.

I have never even seen that size of NLS pellet before, do you just order it online? None of my local fish supply ever have the pellets in that size!

Mines 8” or so….I do NLS pellets, but I do the starve till you eat what I give you method on all my fish. As treats I’ll do earthworms, grasshoppers, & tilapia fillets once consistently eating pellets. I use a piece of driftwood with sand few little rocks, but that’s more for me than anything. Unless you have just a monsterous tank probably the less décor the better at the size you have. IMHO of course

You can get it online doctors foster and smith usually have it. Look for 7.5mm XL-LARGE Fish Formula. Im lucky my LFS sell alot of quality food.
