Juvenile Jardini Onto Pellets?

[gazelle]

Like the title says, I have a 3 and a half inch jardini eating frozen bloodworms. How do you get these guys onto pellets? (i plan on hikari cichlid bio gold) because once the bloodworms start to sink he can only get in one to two more bites before they hit the bottom abnd he either leaves them, the bichirs get it, or both.

Thanks
Kevin

yeah definitely try the hikari carnivore floating type... it took us about a week or so to get our baby jardini to eat them.. and it helps to break them up into smaller pieces (that helped ours at least)...

Forget all this canned shrimp crap. You're just running around in circles. Most direct way, starve your aro and only offer pellets everyday. It's alot faster and alot more simple.

you can try dropping some small pellets into the trail of what your feeding.
thats how the hatcheries wean hard to please fish, gradually decrease ratio of live food and it should get used to it.
