Flowerhorn spitting out food

[Kamfa2020]

My kamfa flowerhorn seem to be not interested in any pelleted food
He will just spit out pellets everytime
I need some suggestions regarding this.
I have done deworming of the fish too

Kindly suggest some ways to fix it

When did you get the fish if the fish is new to the tank it may take some time to take in food.
I use meal worm sometime to get something in the flowerhorn just so they have something in there system.

No he is not new to the tank but he seems to spit out things
I too give meal worms sometimes and he eats them instantly
He has got problem with only the pellets

If he hasn’t eaten pellets with any regularity before (maybe he was getting live or just mealworms etc) then you’ll have to pellet train him. Some fish more stubborn than others.

Don’t offer him anything else until he’s taking them / looking forward to them. If you offer him something else in the meantime you’ll just be starting over. Obviously quality pellets are most consistent source of nutrition and should be the staple of his diet.

Starving him out should work. I don't think flowerhorns are that stubborn about eating. Offer pellets and only pellets until he eats them.

Starvation isn't helping I had done it before but the case is same
