Hikari gold is good foods, and I might give it a try with this guy. The problem I have is that he only likes to eat off the bottom. I have to move the swordtails alltogether now, because he is trying to kill the adults. i have been noticing huge bite marks near the head of the swordtails, and he is now chasing them around.

Hikari does make sinking pellets they are in a blue bag.

it could be the light sand u have.

I was just about to put that and then I saw your reply

I changed my sand for a lighter colour so that my sevs would brighten up a bit. Although it worked for the sevs it also made my ellioti a bit light and bland...

Thanks, I will look for those pellets. I just wish my fish would have the blue that I've seen in person and on the internet. I am also using aquarium salt now.
