So I bought these sinking pellets and...

my RTC wont eat them. I think they may just be too small for him. I can go back to giving him frozen but its just such a mess to do. I ran out of shrimp one day and he was really hungry so I gave him some lean beef and he loved it. Then I got the idea. What if I mashed up some pellets and mixed it in with the ground lean beef. Wouldnt this add all the nutrition of the pellets in a form of something that he can eat? The fat content wouldnt be too high because its like 97% lean beef. It seems like a healthy diet to me. And now that I think of it, I could probably cut up some veggies and throw that in there too. Would this work?

personally I wouldn't be feeding too much mammal-based food (beef) to fish. Why not use tilapia from the supermarket to go along with shrimp.

I was suggesting the beef because I can actually mash the veggies and pellets into the beef and make it like large pellets.

That is not the type of protien or fat that fish should have. The tilapia is a better idea.

Yeah, i see what youre saying man, just do it with fish instead of beef. it will be better for him in the long run.

What kind of pellets did you get? Massivore should be plenty large enough.

Theyre just top fin sinking shrimp pellets.

Try sinking carnivore pellets or massivore.

Hikari sinking carnivore pellets. They smell like crap but my cats seem to love them.
