Snakehead and Pellets!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Has anyone had any luck getting aurantimaculata's on pellets, I got them all around 9 inches give or take, and they refuse to eat pellets. Tried starving them, but still had to end up taking the pellets out when I dropped them in coz they totally ignored them.
 
might be difficult, are they wild caught? as said before it;s difficult changing the food style's when older, Only one of my pleuro will eat hilraki red pellet's also the obscura will but the second pleuro won't even try one,
 
Yes I'm pretty sure that they're wild caught because I've only heard of 2 people successfully breeding them in captivity. I think the thing is that you have to get them really young if they're wild caught to successfully get them on pellets, and auranti's in my experience are pretty picky eaters.
 
I fed my giant SH guppy feeders when he was 3". Now he is 11". I will try to change into pellets. Is that possible? Or should i start stocking my pond with guppies?

every fish is different...u can give it a shot but it might be quite hard depending on his mood and hunger..at 11''u can starve him for about 2 weeks or more...give it a shot. glhf
 
Hi,I tryed it with my micros and bleheris but it was to late,they were fed other foods and refused to eat pellets!
 
same thing happened to my TSNs and my royal clownknifefish! so annoying cuz feeders r troublesome and introduce disease...they wont even eat dead fish from market...!!!
 
some are real easy to get on pellets some are not out of the many dif species i had the red and the cobra was the most stubbourn all the smaller more tropical rathered pellets
 
my gachua was trained on pellets, then I fed it bloodworms and it stopped taking the pellets. but with a heavy layer of water lillies (spelled funny?) it still ate them when they were dropped in front of it onto the plants
