I'm currently trying to get my lamark angels onto NLS pellets,
A little bit of history, in the past, I had a pair of Japanese swallowtail angels, quarantined them together, trained them together and introduced them together and they ate frozen food with no problems. However while I was tying to train them to pellets, only one took to it, the other almost took to it, but it ate air and started floating. After that it never ate another pellet again. I moved them to the main display and even there for the next 6 months, it just wouldn't move to pellets. I assumed the air bubble and the buoyancy problem turned her off. Over time as I fed the system a mix of frozen and dry, she wasted away, when I went returned from vacation, using only the automatic feeder.
Currently with the lamarks, I'm going to make sure they eat pellets before moving them from quarantine to the system and again, 1 started nibbling on the pellets and 2 days later, eats them ravenously, however the other nibbled on it, but spat it out and now completely ignores the pellets.
SO, I soaking the pellets in frozen juice before dropping them in, and they both go crazy looking for the frozen food, but she still doesn't go for it. I think it's just a matter of time before she does. My question is, what other juices from the supermarket can I soak the pellets in before feeding the pellets?
I've crushed garlic, (though I don't think I need this, since NLS includes garlic now)
I've got a can of oysters, (thinking of using the juice/water, not the oysters themselves, though I may try to stuff the pellets into the oyster meat)
I've got selecon.
Thanks in advance.
