My fish don't like wardleys or hikari alge wafers or the shrimp pellets. They do like the Hikari freeze dried tubifex worms, Tetramin tropical crisp,Tetramin tropical tablets for bottom feeders and Hikari sinking wafers also for bottom feeders (not the same as alge wafers).

My cory cats and sailfin pleco absolutely love wardley shrimp pellets, but I am with you guys on the subject of betta pellets. Mine refuse betta gold, betta bites, wardley versions, etc. and seem to love the average bio-blend flakes.

Let's see. The stonefish only eats things that are currently living and moving around the tank. The archers and the Fugu only eat frozen and live foods. My giant gourami is the only one that really eats anything that gets in the tank! She prefers flakes over pellets and absolutely loves bloodworms, even though she's over 8 inches!

My jack dempsey wont eat Wardley cichlid pellets, which kind of makes me mad seeing as i just baught a huuuge package of it. He just eats it and spits it back out. He loves the Hikari cichlid pellets though.

My fish eat everything except for Cucumber (not even the snails will touch it), and betta bites of any type. And they wont eat any type of floating pellet.

They even love tubifex, I hold it in the water and smoosh it around and swish it till it comes apart in a cloud of worms. They love it, espescially the pearl gouramis

Tetra Color Bits..
none..of my fish eat these.
LFS feeds them to everything (fw).. yet, absolutely NONE of mine will have it. It would just sit at the bottom of my tank and rot..
couldn't be that they're spoiled or anything..

Will eat freeze dried blood worms and spirulina pellets. We dont get a variety of food, so I dont really know.

I tried feeding them freeze dried whole shrimp, but they wont eat, and I have stupid, stupid clown loaches.

Aren't these guys supposed to be pigs???

My betta would not eat Wardley pellets (I tried getting him to eat them for a couple weeks, so I was surprised he didn't want it even though he must have been starving! Don't know when he ate before that either because it was just after I brought him home). He LOVES Betta Bites though (and the little bits of rinsed-out meat I'd give him until I got the Betta Bites)
