oh okay. I wouldn't ever feed my flowerhorn feeders but thats just me. He is getting used to the tank it might take a while for him to adjust and start eating. One of my big king kamfa wouldn't eat for weeks and I gave him shrimp and he ate that so quick. So I put some pellets in the shrimp and slowly started to get him to eat with pellets. He was a big guy 12" and he was always trying to eat. He didn't eat for two weeks and he finally ate the pellets. I can tell he didn't like the pellets but he ate them anyways.
