My LMB doesnt eat pellets that are on the ground. (Ex Sinking type) He some times eats the ones that fall down that he can see. the other just hit the ground and never get eaten. An some pellets i have get stuckto the wall and stay. I mean floating types... they have to be in the middle of the water for he can get them. His just not tring hardenuff for them, SHould i just Starve him little longer and see if he go for the pellets that are stuck? Or should i turn off my power head annd filter for a few mins and let him eat? i have a Flow agusment on mine.
 
may dont put them all in the same time, like drop them slowly as he eats them...i think it will eat them on the surface so maybe he isnt hungry enough...or try to turn off the filter.... are there other fish in the tank??
 
I target feed mine. If my hand is over the tank, I have his attention.

Just be happy he eats pellets!!! turn down the power jet!!! that should help

That's true, many people can't get their predators on pellets.
 
Its only The bass I just did the target trick, it works But i have like 3 dif type of pellets Krill shrimp and some other type... he changes around alot. But what about the waste food? What can i toss in the tank to help this? The catfish is in with my koi and he doesnt want to leave. saw him last night just hanging with my 2 koi right in the middle with them. Lol

I use a big common pleco to eat waste food and algae.
 
Big? all i have is a mini 3" O.o and he doesnt eat waste alltho My koi tank is Realy clean. dont want him to pick up two shifts
 
Get a big pleco, they will take care of leftovers.
