Good morning all!
During these past 10 weeks working from home my fish became extremely spoiled and went from having frozen food a couple times a week tops, with an automated feeder the rest of the time, to 100% exclusively frozen food. Now that we are returning to our respective offices I need to get the automated feeder out, but I CANNOT get my fish to respond to pellets anymore!!
I've always had a picky cardinal who will RARELY eat a pellet, but how even the royal gramma, firefish, and clowns are sticking their nose up! I even tried to show them who was boss and didnt feed for two days, then fed only pellets for two days. Clowns are a bite nor so, gramma spat it out, and the cardinal followed me around the tank FURIOUS!
It's not sustainable for me to only feed frozen. I even have been soaking the pellets for an hour before feeding to make softer, still a no go.
Open to suggestions! Do I put them in time out? Refuse to let them leave the table or have desert until they eat??
