Red devil won't eat

[Wizzah]

Hi guys.

I bought this tank going back a few months ago, it has 4 oscars a pair of red devils and multiple catfish, it's a 7ft x 2ft x 2ft i know a tad over stocked but i keep up with my water changes, anyway that's beside the point, since i have had him, i have only seen him eat a algae wafer here and there, that's it, hes never come to the top for a pellet, blood worms, meal worms or even prawns, just wondering what i can do? he's a big boy, 30cm+!

My main source of pellet is Hikari gold (my oscars love it like nothing i've seen)

But yea just seeing what advice i could be given to change this?

Thanks MFK!

Have u tried any sinking pellets besides the algae wafers?

 

[Wizzah]

been looking into massivore? worth a try?

Massivore is too big for most of your fish. I would recommend NLS large fish formula for your rd's and the jumbo formula for your other fish if they prefer floating pellets.

ill try the NLS for the rd, but ill keep with hikari for my o's

I use normal trout chow to stuff my Oscars mouth before dropping in some *sinking* Hikari gold for the other fish in my tanks. I have a red devil now but he's not quite big enough to fend off the tank mates I want to put him with, he DEVORE's Hikari sinkers!
