I have a tank full of picky eaters that each demand different food. I have hikari gold, NLS, blood worms, and brine shrimp. All my fish will eat blood worms, but only the large EBJD will eat the hikari gold. I have starved them for a week in the hopes of breaking their wills to accept NLS, but they refuse to touch the stuff. Are there any tips or tricks to train your fish to accept other foods?
 
Starve for two weeks lol.. I throw in a new food with a food they already like and hope they eat it accidentally and realize they like it and slowly put more and more of the food I want to feed and less and less of the feed they want.
 
It sounds like a good idea, but my fish can instantly tell the difference between the pellets. The NLS just builds up at the bottom of the tank and it just kills my water quality. I just hate the fact that I bought expensive nutritious fish food and they wont even touch it. My polleni will only eat bloodworms and all attempts to change her diet have failed.
