My fish love Massivore Delite. I bought it to feed my Senegal Bichir, which used to eat anything and everything. Well he loves it. He will not eat anything else now. My silver arowana eats them as they sink down. He used to eat everything. I can't get them to eat anything else. They won't eat shrimp anymore. They won't eat anyother pellets. For the past few weeks they have only ate about once every 3-4 days. The other days i try to feed them other food but they won't accept it. I had a lima shovel nose that took a while to get him to eat pellets. Once he ate the massivore delite he wouldn't eat anything else. Well i thought i could quit feeding him the massivore and he would eventually come back around to accepting other food. Well he died after about a month. I would throw a pellet or two of massivore in there every week and he would eat them, but nothing else. Anyone else have this problem? What is the best way to fix this?

Just stop giving them massivore, give them other stuff. They won't starve themselves.

I swear the catfish starved himself. He would only eat the massivore and nothing else. I tried everyday to feed him something different and he would not eat it. Once a week i would give him 1 or 2 massivore pellets to make sure he wasn't just sick and he would gobble them up. He started to become real thin and I figured he would break and eat something, but i was wrong.

I love my arowana and bichir and don't want to risk it. I will go a while without feeding them but not as long as i did with the catfish.
 
why not just feed massivore if that's what they want.... I got a few fish that eat everything some only eat one thing I give them what they want....

I would think only one type of food wouldn't be good for a fish. I'm sure massivore doesn't have everything that my fish need.

i'm sure they will have most things needed in these types of food so should be ok.
