My New Red Devil won't eat Hikari Cichlid Gold.

starving it always worked for me... its interesting how picky some fish are and others will eat ANYTHING

try omega one my devil will not touch the bio gold at all but loves the omega same with my oscar but he's starting to eat it now

maybe some live food?

I wouldn't. Infact i'd do my best not to feed anything aside from the pellet, until he accept's them readily. I found out first hand, that some individual's may simply allow themselves to become emaciated rather than eat a pellet.

I too would be inclined to querey what the past owner had been feeding.

Update: He is now greedily scarfing down the Hikari Gold and Staple. Thanks for the tips. I held fast and he gave in...now I'll let him have some krill.

My escondido wouldn't eat much of anything for over a week. He decided omega one flakes are edible, however, so he gobbles those up. He doesn't eat pellets though.

Some one posted this before. "Any fish that dies from starvation when you offer food daily is one stupid fish"
