Pellet/flake training dats

[antimony]

This is possible right? Does it just take time and a short period of starvation?

pellets its possible but i dont' see why u would feed a predator fish flakes.

Some will take pellets, some never will. I got 2 ngts from the same batch and one will eat anything. Right now he eats mostly cichlid pellets and sinking carnivore pellets. The other won't eat anything except feeders, not even MP. I don't think hes gonna give in to MP either as hes getting really thin.
Neo gave me one that ate aro sticks like mad.

definitly can be done. but im sure maybe not in all cases. all of the 15+ dats in my last dat comm took pellets. dont know about flakes though as ive never tried. what worked for me was starving one in isolation for a short period and getting him interested in pellets. once he was steadily eating pellets i intorduced him back into the comm. soon after the rest of the dats followed suit.

all my dats take pellets. i was feeding my aros food sticks and randomly one started eating it.... then everyone else followed after that. now they just eat anything i throw in the tank... even try eating sinking algae wafers.

My dats aren't really keen on pellets but the biggest will somtimes take them.
