[hmoobvwj]

I just got 4 new baby monos and they wont take anything but live feeders. They will bite it and then spit it back out as fast as it went in.... i starved them for almost 2 days now but still same results..... they are all 2"-2.5" and PICKY EATERS!!!
any advices is appreciated Thanks!

Starve them for 2 more then get them with some other pellet eatin fish

no need to starve.... hand feed the feeder fish too them then try krill then drop the krill in then try pellets thats what i'm doing so far i have them on krill

there to small to be on pellets.. wait till they are 5-7 inches.... feed them black worms feepers, silver sides , market shrimp ect

mine will eat pellets but i don't have cash to pay for all those pellets they go through since they are so small

i usally soak the pellets until they are very very soft then i try feeding it to them. IMO i think it will be safer for baby fishes and will be easier for them to swallow. Just a method i use to try and get baby fishes on pellets. LOL my bettas are on pellets too.

yea .. i soak them too, but if you have to starve them to get them on pellets .. 2.5 inches is too small
