Poly's Dont Want To Eat Massivore Pallets

[Divasen]

Hi,

I was wondering if any else is having this problem, I have 5endi's, 2seng,1abino that refuses to eat pallets. I have tried starving them for a week but i always end up giving in to them. I find starving my fish very hard to do.

I use to/still feed them lance fish,hake,feeder fish,prawns before i joined this site. Thereafter i realize that my fish will be healthy if they eat pallets plus the above. Which is the right thing to do?

I am currently mixing the pallets with the above foods and leaving it to soak for a few mins before. i have been trying to get them to eat pallets for the last two months with out any luck.

Any suggestion on what to do?

Thank you

Try shoving a pellet in the pieces of fish and shrimp. How big are they?

You seem to be doing it right. How long have you been trying to get them on pellets?

They are still to small for that, they range from12cm to 20cms

try Hikari sinking pellet small... mine ate those right from the beginning.. if all else fails try frozen blood worms and frozen krill... soaked in vitamin oil..don't give them feeder fish.... they will come around... but it is rough for them to make the switch after they are predators on live food..

Try Hikari massivore, my polys love them. Heck even my snakehead eats them.
