Help, my jardini won't eat pellets...

[billylee]

Had this 5" guy for 2months.
He will only eat minnows or market shrimp.
Tried dropping alternate shrimp pieces and sinking pellets
but he spits the pellets right out.
Right now he is past his 2 week hunger strike.

All ideas are welcome.
Thanx.

It took a little over a month for my aro to take pellets. I kept dropping in 2-3 every other day and then one day it actually ate.

Stuff some of the pellets into the MP, so he gets used to the taste and smell of it. He might come around easier GL

 

[Ill take that mean one]

i use tiger shrimps and stuff em with omega one veggie pellets

Heheehhe i know the horses have left the barn, but you really should try pellets from the begining. Mine to took to Hikari sticks from day one. Don't worry, your next move is to starve the spoilt fishy hehhehe for jar i'd give it a weeks - tops. Announce the success?

never use minnows they carry lots of diseases that can be digested and past to your jardidni
