New thought about pellet training.

Ok has anyone tried fishing scents to get there fish to eat pellets? They have all kinds of scents from shrimp to crayfish to night crawlers and shad so wouldn't you think your fish would like one of them?
Has anyone tried this?

Do you really wanna add those chemicals to your tank?

I doubt they are harsh and most are natural scents not man made. They are usually just concentrated oil

Most people try to avoid oily foods, it fouls up the water fast. Try some and see what they do to your water quality, then report back to us. Those scents are made to attract fish, not to feed to your pets.

I think this follows the same principle of soaking pellets in beefheart juices or garlic. I've used both of those in the past

These scents are made to get fish to bite things that don't visually appeal to them. N I would only soak the food in a tiny bit to get the scent. I don't think that small if an amount would hurt the water much. But I guess no one has tried it???
I will do some tests and research and post up a report
