Question. Help please?

[Xotesi]

Okay so I started feeding my 2 1/2 inch peacock pellets
If I only feed it pellets for awhile will it stop eating feeders?
Please help because I don't want it to only it Pellets.

Fresno, eh? The answer is no, but a better answer is it doesn't matter. Since all fishes are different, but for the most part all cichlids are no picky eaters. You can feed cichlids pellets forever and change to live and they'll gobble it just as fast, vice versa.

I personally, have stopped any live food feedings, but that's just me and my experiences that my fishes have died from external and internal parasites due to live food. Quarantine my tanks and life is good for months, until I introduce live again, and the dying starts again.

Nah your fine. But sometimes if you feed feeders too much, your bass won't want to eat pellets anymore. At least that's my experience haha

That's why I made him eat pellets
