How the hell you pellet train!? HELP PLEASE!

That cichlid will steal alot of the food.they r greedy fish, compared to a small
Baby tiger who is very shy in comparison. not a good combo.
But carry on what your doing by feeding pellets and bloodworm together. Marinate the pellets in the defrosted bloodwort
, leave in fridge for 30 mins, then feed.
Or if you have the will Power, only feedpellets and nothing else. It may take 3-4 weeks of starving.
Probably not the best idea when it's 2-3 inch though.

dats are very stubborn and they dont take to pellets easily. The best way i have found is if they like shrimp, stuff a few pellets into the shrimp. That way they get used to the pellets and associate it with food. Do this for a few weeks and your dats will soon be taking pellets right when you drop them. Good luck!! Dats are hard to train, but they are great fish!!
