Pajama cardinal food

[Kapachuka3]

I tried feeding my pajama cardinals I got yesterday these pellets I use for my clownfish and they didn’t really seem to like them should I be worried they don’t like them and should I use something else? What do other people use?

Ok how expensive are live black worms and are there any pellet type foods I can use instead

Pellets are like dog food. If you ate the same thing over and over it would drive you nuts. Prob not the best for good health.
Live worms at the LFS here are 3.00 per oz. You can keep in refridge. Change the water every day and they will last a month or until all are eatin.

Do you think that they will overtime get used to this food and will eat it? There are also a ton of amphipods in my tank and they’ve seemed to eat them sometimes I think

Try some frozen food like mysis.

Feed them pellets. If they dont eat them you will know in time.

Pajama Cardinals are carnivores. They will eat brine shrimp, fish eggs, mysis shrimp, etc... they majority of the time will not eat pellets

They have actually done better at eating the pellets but what is a feeding ring?
