My gar used to eat food sticks. but one day i tried to feed him a large hikari gold pellet but it couldnt fit into his mouth. afterwards he wouldnt try to eat anything except for live feeders not even the food sticks i thought he loved. i tried starving him for a couple of days but wouldnt even touch it. grrr i guess i just gotta keep trying tho. just scared of starving him too much.

i had the same deal with my 8 inch gar. the feeder was was about 2 inches, and fat gold fish ones not the regular skinny ones. it was intended for the wolf fish but garry tired, he hung on it all night, tired a bunch of positions to fit it into his mouth but didnt work. after maybe 3 hours ( not sure it was around 3am ) he let go and the fat feeder was still alive swiming away.. nuts
