yea just start with the pellets right off the bat, this is the best way, before they get used to eating something "better". like i have said before just be patient and they should eat, good luck
when i had my reds they ate pellets like there was no tommorow, but i do agree with Dexter's post that if you give them something meaty first they tend to not like pellets. that small rhom might need bloodworms, if you have to buy some i will reimburse you for them.
Garlic extreme is awsome. SO far I use it almsodt every day on every tank I have. Even my marine tanks. Give it a shot. Also ....Dex if thats a pic of you P he looks incredible.
i tried that garlic stuff the other day i just got my "fish guy" to give me a shot of it and the p's went nuts for it "the pellets" more so than thay usually do, so yea i vouch for it as well. and thxs Blkwater, that it is indeed dexter, it's the pellets. i got a few more pics in the gallery
