My 4 red's won't eat anything other than krill. I've tried catfish, pellets and shrimp but no luck. There all around 2.5"-3". Is there anything anyone can suggest? I don't wont to starve them.
 
keep trying, they should eat just about anything at that age, with pellets you may have to skip a feeding or two for them to get hungry enough to try them
 
when i changed the kind of pellets i was using it took about 3 days before they would even look at them. just put the food in for like 1/2 an hour and if they don't eat it take it out.
 
the fillets i usually get are around 1/2" thick and i cut them into 2" squares
