I added a red devil to my tank about a week ago and he isn't going after the floating pellets that my oscar's eat. He will pick up stuff that falls to the bottom. I was thinking maybe he was given sinking pellets. My question is will he end up eating the floating pellets or do I need to go get some sinking ones? It would be nice for the fish to eat the same food. Not sure if it matters but the rd might be mixed with a little midas.
Fish not eating floating pellets.

I Recently switched to floating pellets and most my fish didn't have a clue what to do. It took them a week or so to really go after them. Try soaking the pellets in the juice that's made when you thaw bloodworms. Or give him more time. He will come around. He may just not be comfy yet
I would not worry since you said that he is eating off the bottom. I think given time he will start to go after the floating pellets. I could be wrong. But I know for sure he will not let himself starve.
I picked up a 36 gallon Rubbermaid container that I will use when draining the tank. I have extra pump to drain the container. This might work well.
Guy's I'm still having no luck with the fish. I think this is the last week then I'm giving in to her wanting sinking pellets. She is getting some pieces that sink to the bottom from the oscars so she will never learn.
