Question about my 3'-4' jaguar Cichlid

[crxlsturbo]

I have him/her for about 1 1/2 months already. In that time he/she is a picky eater. Is this common with jaguar? I have he/she in a 240 gallon with 2 tiger Oscars, 6 tinfoil barbs, 3 geos, 1 geo balzoni(misspelled) and 2 flagtails. The Oscars are 6'-7' big. All the rest are a little bit smaller. The jaguar is mean towards the all the other fish except the Oscars cause they are bigger. I feed my whole tank nls pellets. At first my jaguar wouldn't eat the pellets and would just eat the scraps from my Oscars. After about a month it started to eat the pellets. Then all of sudden it doesn't want to eat the scraps from the Oscars nor the pellets. Now it eats the Hikari algae wafers I throw in there for the flagtails. Is that common for the jaguar to eat those? If I throw in 2 wafers he/she will eat both at the same time. I want to get him pellet feed but don't want to stop feeding my flagtails. Really love him/her. After I bought him/her from a lfs I went and bought a baby jaguar for my 120 gallon that was only 1' big. After all it eat was nls flakes. Now it eats pellets. It gets picked on by my midas hybrid. Mean little sucker. But once it grows up it will punk the midas in the long run. My jack Dempsey is the king of my 120 gallon but doesn't pick on my baby jaguar which is a good thing. Thanks.

In my experience omega 1 is accepted more by picky eaters. What I had to do with my current jag (& old dovii for that matter) is cut up tilapia fillets soaked in boyds vitachem as my staple. My dovii was big enough to eat whole silver sides or chopped whole fish that had been soaked in vitachem which is best because the bones etc help keep the digestive track regular

My jag was extremely picky. Only ate flakes but after starving him it eventually only took floating hikari predator
