NLS pellets inedible?

[RD.]

Five days is no where near long enough to cause them to switch. Keep at it.

Most people give up too soon, a stubborn fish can sometimes take several weeks, even months to fully convert from one type of food to another, especially when converting from flakes to pellets. I have trained scores of different species of fish to eat NLS, including many wild caught fish, and loaches are by far one of the easiest fish to train.

Remove all other options & in time most fish will learn to love what is offered, no matter the brand. Good luck, NLS is a high quality food & half the price of massivore.

My jack Dempsey will go nuts for nls and just stare at krill and silver sides.. I don't care because they aren't for him anyway, but just shows how picky they can be when they are used to something

Ive considered Hikari but my LFS's don't carry any Hikari pellets that sink. My loaches obviously need sinking food, and only one of the cichlids seems to accept feeding off the top. maybe ill just give the NLS more time as some have suggested.

I have 4 convict brothers in my 40 breeder that love NLS. I started them out early, it's the food they have been raised on. My red devil in my other tank eats just about anything that hits the water, but seems to prefer NLS over Hikari. I have a pair of adult breeding cons in another tank, they usually ignore the NLS and I have to feed them Hikari.

I haven't tried the NLS brand. Each time I try to feed my cichlids something besides Hikari they just don't seem interested. As for needing the baby pellets, I order mine online, Mythic Figment. I would just crush the pellets into smaller pieces and feed the babies until I got my smaller pellets.
