Pellet Training

[matejakezman]

Hi, i'm relatively new to bichirs.
just wondering how do you guys train your bichirs to take pellets?

any tips?

Mine were simple. I offered nothing but pellets and they accepted them. This goes for 2 ornates (1 large and one small) and a sen. (tiny).

my 2 tiny sen took a bite and spit them out.
the endi didn't even notice the existance of the pellets.

give them some bloodworms and pellets and everyday put less bloodworms and more pellets it worked on my first try with my ornate

they rejected the frozen blood worms that i gave to them.

anyway, i've tried for around 1 week for the sen and 2 days for the endi cause i just got him from another forumer 2 days ago.
