So I have been feeding my larger Columbian shark hikari sinking wafers for the past couple months and he has been growing like a cow. He is now pushing 7 inches and needs like 7 of them in the morning, and like 3 at night. Since Hikari Sinking wafers are around 7$ for 3.88oz (110g), I can't keep buying them for him, so I went on another website someone reccomended and I bough Sinking Catfish Wafers for 13$ for 5lbs.

I'm guessing that since I've been feeding them the qualitly Hikari Sinking wafers is the reason why they don't like the other food?

So How do I make them eat it? Do I have to just let them eat it whent they're hungry enough? Thanks!
 
Well, The good news is that my 8 inch Plecostomus, Zoidberg, has been eating the leftovers that they don't eat. :)

But I still wand them to eat it as well.
 
just going to have to let them get hungry. they will eat it once they get hungry enough.

just make sure you are not putting too much food in the tank. if there are left overs still, make sure to take them out after a while

Ok thanks so much :)

And yes, I was thinking about removing the leftovers, but then I saw my pleco come out and eat all of them haha

He's never gone all the way across the tank for an algae wafer, but does for this food ;)
