im a firm believer in NLS i have seen in my own tanks the colors nls brings out. i have 10 bass ranging from 10-15 inches.. over the last 4 months i have started introducing 6mm NLS, 3 of my O's and one bahia have started pounding the nls and now thats all they will touch... their colors have gone threw the roof as well. but its getting to the point where im getting frustrated that the other 6 still wont show any interest in it..
i also feed krill. also silversides 2x a week. ive tried all the tricks that i know of do any of you have any tricks? i havent tried starving them yet. thats my last option
 
You can try to use garlic, but if you stop using the other stuff for a while they will probably take it eventually, I have had a few stubborn holdouts that have converted

I haven't starved them over three days because my smallest is an azul about 9-10 inches and im trying to keep the bigger fish full so they don't try to gulp him. Im mainly waiting for my bucket of krill to run out, after its gone ill be starving them until they take it... its just frustrating that some love it. Some taste it and spit it out. And some don't even realize its food and show no interest
 
Thanks. Its a big change in color just by adding pellets. Just wish the rest of them would start taking pellets so they will color up as well.
My bucket of krill is almost gone, then I decided I will starve the rest. I think it wont take long for the rest to convert. How long is the maximum everyone else starves for?
