I was just feeding my dats and noticed the pellets are 1.5 mm and are small enough.
They are called Xtreme cichlid peewee pellets with 38% protein. I'm sure you can find better.
You want to try and get it to eat pellets as soon as you can. The longer you wait the more of a headache it will be later. If you feed it the pellets and he dosen't eat them feed him the brineshrimp and wait another 36 hours before you try it again.
I suggest if you get more to get atleast 4 for a total of 5 that way when they bicker one isn't getting the blunt of the aggression.

1. I hate you. you got a baby indo for 6 dollars.
2. If you can get this guy on pellets, you'll have the healthiest fish, and he'll grow a lot quicker then usual, my friend has one about 13 inches and its two years on pellets, pretty quick . she has another that is a year and a half that doesn't accept pellets and it is about 5 inches.

Xtreme foods are some of the best out there. I know they are small, but once he gets bigger move the the monster pellets

Nice Nice!

I got a few of these myself and you got it at a very good price, I paid $10.00 each and I have 5.

They grow slow, but so far mines went from 1 1/4" to about 2" in about a month. I should stop feeding so much .

Hehe I just got my 7" IT and NTT to eat about 8 massivore pellets a piece by lightly coating them with mashed up shrimp. I am so happy right now. My other 7" IT would just chew on them till he got all the shrimp off and then spit them out.
