Chop night crawlers up than dice shrimp or smelt into small parts and let the nasty worm guts marinade into the meat. Than trick him like that. Took me very little effort to get my tiger to take like this my flower was a bit more pain in butt and only took earth worm for about 2 years

I'll definitely have to do that soon just simply to save a bit of coin. nightcrawlers and pellets add up quickly and I would love to throw some shrimp in the mix.
Congrats! I kept a pair of reticulated rays a year or two ago and for the whole year I had the male and 6 months I had the female, I could not get them to even look at crawlers, shrimp, or pellets. The other fish in the tank ate them just fine but the little rays never even touched them. I know how you felt having to go every weekend to the fishstore and having to keep gross little worms in your fridge. And pellets, even better!
I've tried that and the pellets always fall out of the piece, how do you do it?
what worked for my flower was soaking the pellets in there favorite food. until the pellets were soggy. Feed the pellets only and if they dont eat it do it again for several days in a row. eventually they will take it. dont give in after trying the pellets make them starve.
if they dont after a few days give them some of there favorite food again and repeat. my flower ate massivore and cichlid gold primarly.

nothing exciting to look at and still thin and recovery from last hunger strike from doing my hardwood floors but believe it or not she is fat compared to what she was a couple months ago. Thought I was going to lose her.
