Who feeds NLS?

[Jacunaba]

Don't bother as it makes a mess in the water.

I have found that massivore makes much more of a mess. JMO tho

I had my last batch of cichla on NLS they ranged from 11"-15" and were all on 6mm NLS the key with these pellets is to feed much smaller pellets they are designed to be swallowed whole instead of chewed on.. About a month after the switch I noticed amazing colors. I'll switch my new group of cichla over to NLS once they are big enough to take the 7.5 mm
This pic is about a month after the switch you can clearly see the difference in the metas

Thanks for your input guys. I ordered the 6mm thera A(big boys), 3mm thera A(growouts), and 4.5mm floating(for my aros). I bought the medium containers for now, dont want to get 5 lbs and have it go to waste if they dont like it. Wish me luck!

Good luck! My guess is you will have best luck with the floating. That's where I got mine trained first. They chew on it and make a mess in your tank for a while then they learn quickly to just take the whole pellet w/o chewing

Recieved my NLS on monday night and have tried feeding it a few times since then. The majority of my fish are having difficulty adjusting to the hardness. My silver dollars are loving it, but only my 8" azul, 2 xingu, and 2 tems will swallow it. The rest attack it, but spit it out. Should i try mixing it up between nls and massivore or only offer nls?

As with any food. Give it time. They'll take it.

I am worried about my growouts starving. I have 5x 4.5" RA kelberi and 4x 6" pinima. The rest of my bass are larger and im not too worried about. Should i only offer nls or offer a bit of both?

You could feed a mixture of both and then slowly increase the amount of NLs with every refill of your small container.

I have always fed NLS. Any fish I get, gets NLS. I'm sure it takes some of them a while to get the hint, but hunger seems to grease those skids a bit.
