Oscar refusing pellets

[L.BelcherII]

lol it would be hard to starve the guy when he just looks at you with those pleading eyes every time you walk by the tank... wiggling his tail furiously. i could maybe hold out a day or two.. but cave in after that.

My chocolate cichlids have me trained too
Crickets, krill and earthworms. Maybe a pellet if they want to tease me.

My aro bosses me too. I just can't see starving him to get him onto pellets. He eats mostly superworms and the ocaisional piece of market shrimp.

My JD has become picky like this, I hope my Oscar doesn't go down this route!

Someone told me this when I was trying to get my aro to take pellets "would have to be an awfully stupid fish to starve to death when your offering food multiple times a day". That said I guess I should mention he still wont eat pellets
