Pellet Training

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
It takes time and luck to get them onto pellets.Three of my indos take pellets as well as everything else I give them.Luckily,one of the three is my favorite of all of my indos.

I have no clue how old they are....

2 are from Snookn21- he stated they were pellet trained, and I am sure they were- until they got into my tank! :irked:

The other 3 were being weened off of feeders... YUCK! Thank god they eat krill.

Trying the gel food tonight that I made for the rays... hoping it works.
 
if you look at a few pages on this part of the forum you will find a few hundred threads telling you how to pellet train

its easy EAT THEM OR DIE its as simple as that only a foolish fish will starve to death when you offer pellets every day

use hikari sinking carnivore or massivore depending on the size of the tiger for best results

just dont be week and think oh no my fish has not ate for a few days it can go 6 weeks but it will eat them in the end

im sure i have typed this a few times :eek:
 
Well, I made a gel paste for my rays... I didn't have enough gel in the cube ratios, so it's not very gel like.. haha.

But... the datnoids LOVE it!

Even the shy one that never comes out wouldn't stop dancing!

Get some dithers who will eat pellets. Such as tinfoil barbs or silver dollars. Feed them pellets only and starve them. Thats how I got all my dats on pellets

My ATs were about 1.5-2 inch when I tried that and added a dozen 1" Tiger Barbs as dithers..The ATs finished off the barbs in like 20 mins. :S
 
The starve method does not always work,or maybe I was a little to hardcore when I tried it on my newly purchased NGT a few years back.....It got paper thin and died...talk about weak.

What a foolish fish my kids hate peas but I'm sure if all I put on there plates at dinner time they would be eating them in less than 2 days

Never lost a fish from eat or die and I have used it on fish 10 x more expensive compared to a tiger
