I feed my festaes Hikari bio gold +, Hikari Carnivore sinking pellets, Hikari Spirulina brime shrimps, and blood worms 2 or three times a week. Feed 3 times a day. Tried other foods but they dont like. What else should I feed them ?
 
Your fish seem to be coloring up great! especially the one in your avatar! I like all of the green! I would stick to what you have seems to be giving great results.

Cool. Thanks for the advise !

There is nothing wrong with what your feeding yours:) if you want to add some things try market shrimp cut up, maybe some scallops, and frozen talapia fillets and just cut up everything into bite size pieces:) but your completely fine with feeding them what your feeding. you could get them to eat almost anything if you backed your feedings off to once or twice a day, let them get good and hungry and mix the new food with the stuff your using. it may take a few feedings before the actually start eating the new stuff but if theyre eating what your feeding now then i wouldnt even bother trying to intro new stuff. they might get picky with the frozen food if theyre offered it a whole lot and turn down the staple. i used to feed bloodworms and stuff like that every day but since then ive cut back to feeding frozen as treats throughout the week:)
