Hello I owned my RCK for about a month now and it refuses to eat anything other than feeders.But I also have another Standard clown knife(Yes I understand they are territorial and wont get along down the line) in the tank and he is fine with shrimp pellet.I want to know is what is the best way to wing my RCK off of feeders and on to something more nutritious without starving him.
 
Mine did the same thing. I didnt want to starve him either, but I ended up waiting a week. Then he would mouth anything I threw in the tank but spat it out. I kept doing it over the next few days and eventually my rck ate talapia, shrimp, and carnivore pellets.
 
I hand feed my clown knife a whole earthworm per day, he also eats shrinking shrimp pellets. I never tried feeders due to the heath of the feeders.
