I just added salt bumped the temp and added prazipro to the tank. The fish still does not seem interested in pellets but his belly is full of sagittae fry and crickets so he's actually doing great. The poop is still a little nasty but I think I saw some sinking pellets in his last poop so that's a good sign. I probably don't want to go out for another batch of crickets to feed this fish so should I just starve him until he eats pellets or keep trying various live foods? I was thinking of doing mealworms next. I just feel like crickets and mealworms are dirty and I shouldn't feed them to him as a staple but if that's all he will eat should I?

most sold in petstores are small, but you can find ones in bait stores that are huge. the ones in those bags usually ranges between 4 and 6 in. they should be good enough for ya
 
I finally got the picky fish to eat some krill. I gave in and gave him some sagittae fry afterwards but he's going on his last few days of live stuff or he's going to starve. Is there any pellets fish can't resist? I'm thinking maybe some massivore but I doubt he'd be interested in that either.

The kamfa is getting big and fat fast.

The 1 red dragon I like is starting to get a nuchal hump and it's not even 2". I can already tell this is probably going to be the nicest fry I've ever raised.
 
Cam, I feed mine Cichlid Bio-gold and they love it. Eat it way faster than they will touch the krill.
 
here is some good news though..

The 1 red dragon fry I thought has potential could potentially have some potential LOL. Let me know what you think of him, he's not even a full 2"TL yet.
