    So my 20cm is now sharing his tanks only with a pleco so his diet is mostly of hakari sinking pellets, he is a fussy eater LOL. Trying to give frozen brime shrimp and other pellets but no luck just need some help on what i can try to give him or try to add to his diet. did do some more reading on them and diet to see what i can try. did see a lot say to add live food but i know it can be risky. Run small tank with live bait and do it like that ( girlfriends tank ) hehe. but open to options.

    Thank u

    treats i have used for my cichlids
    sardine, muscle, shrimp, calamari, talapia, pangasuis, blood worms, krill, earthworms, flying ants and crickets
    have some that will take what ever i put in the water and have a few that only eat one type of pellet.
    feeder fish is a slippery slope cause it is expensive and fish can become addicted to live food and not want to eat anything else
