sorry for the late reply i gave her different pellets with selcon and she still spits them out i might try out mysis shrimp hopefully that will help her appetite
Yes, try chopped up smaller foods. When fish spit food out, it is frustrating - you can't force them to eat. There is not a specific disease that causes this. In some cases, it is a mechanical blockage.

Sorry- not anything else you can do, soft food chopped small is the only thing to try on a fish that is spitting food. There may be a mechanical blockage then…..ugh.
