it really depends what im trying to convert


even for my dats i used sinking, they never went to the top but chased what ever landed near them

Oh and goodluck dude

In that case they will starve up until they decide to take pellets.

By the way, fasting starts today. I won't feed them until Saturday afternoon.

Thanks everyone for the input.

I hope you have a lot of patience to train them. I starved one my fish 23 days before he was willing to take non live food. I've never seen a fish so stubborn.

Starve it 2-3 days then start throwing pellets in there. You might not need to starve it 23 days like me.

I've done that before bro and no success. I gave in after a week... I'll try 6 days starting today. Besides, I'm short on money for fish food so Saturday is perfect timing since payday is the day before...

We're different Joe. I'm not giving in

My endlicheri is already eating sinking pellets so that guy is good. I'm gonna stick with Hikari Cichlid Gold for him coz its not that smelly.

So what is a good brand of floating pellets for the other fish? Which are probably the most stubborn.
