I have mine eating everything. Pellets, flakes, frozen, he'll even sea weed at times. I had him for 4 years, going on 5 in 2 months. I started live Copepods. Then live brine injected by him. Then live brine mixed with frozen brine injected by him. Then frozen injected by him. Then frozen mixed with crushed pellets. Ect. Ect. Ect. Now, he will eat anything . I added 2 more about a month ago. Already on live/frozen:lol_large
patience, that's all. Took time. Some go right for it. Som don't. My new ones are almost copying my original so thats amazing. My original...took 4 months to finally eat live brine, then 3 months for frozen only. And 1 3/4 years for pellets...
