How to treat banggai cardinal with dry food?

[lo7100]

Hi all,

I got a cardinal only eating frozen food. How call I treat it with pellet or flake? I tried to mix the dry food with frozen but it will split out the dry food.

mine only eats (as far as dry food goes) pellets...anything that looks like a dot

umm, how do explain this, soak the pellet in the frozen food fluid, don't feed the frozen food, eventually when the fish is hungry enough, it should it, don't starve it for too long though. A majority of the fish in the hobby are wild caught, some will refuse to eat dry food.

good idea...the only reason i posted what i did is i find it strange that my bangaii is my only fish that doesn't swim to the top to get any floating food...it waits for food to fall in front of its eyes and then lunges and sucks it up.

Bangaii's rarely take pellet or flake food.
