Fish don't like pellets

[Fringe09]

Hi Guys. I bought the Neptune AFS and it came with a sample of their Crossover Diet. My fish don't want to do anything with it. I've tried giving it to them during the main feeding time which is mysis shrimp, but it didn't work.

Is there a way to get them to like it or should I look for a different pellet brand?

I use these in my neptune afs.

I use these in my neptune afs.

Thank you. Do you combine them?

 

[Daltrey]

I haven't but you could I guess. The sustainable aquatic was what I watched the lfs feed to the fish I bought and the other one I grabbed because it was enhanced with garlic which usually will entice most fish to eat pellets. I also feed frozen mysis a few times a week.

I feed my fish once a day with mysis shrimp mixed with garlic. I think I'll buy the Omega One that has garlic and hopefully that might get them to eat it.

I use Piscines 2mm pellets in my Neptune AFS. Fish love them and I feed 5-6 times daily.

Is it this one from Amazon?

 

[Antics]

Yep, the 2mm size is perfect for the AFS.

Not sure which one to buy now. The mysis shrimp I feed my fish are from Piscine, but the Omega One has garlic which does entice fish.

I second the PE pellets. Our fish ate them since day one.

How long have you had your fish? It may take some time for them to realize it’s food

Have you checked out @Reef Nutrition's TDO pellets. Great stuff that my fish are loving!

Any where from 1 to 4 months. I ended up ordering the pellets from Piscine. Should arrive any day now. Let's see if they like it.

Thanks. I'll try these next if the fish don't like the pellets from Piscine.

Hikari seaweed extreme?

Good news, fish like the pellets from Piscine.

I used to feed Marine one pellets and the fish chowed them, I have since switched to PE pellets, Omega One marine pellets with garlic and New Life Spectrum Thera+A and they eat them all up almost as fast as they hit the water

Good to hear! It's the only pellet that got an immediate feeding response for us in years.
