Great to hear they are eating. Be careful with feeding goldfish should treat prior to feeding.I finally caught one of my spotted gars eating a couple pellets this morning! Very glad. Haven't seen the other one eat a pellet yet but it's investigating. I gave in and threw in 2-3 feeder fish a couple of days ago. Ever since they ate the feeders they have been much more active. I sort of gave up with feeding them pellets but this morning I threw some in out of curiosity and one of them ate! Not much but maybe 3 hikari sticks. But still a big win for me! Thanks everyone for the advice
