Those live red worms that came in on the plants I got from azgardens. Otherwise... They eat stuff I don't even mean to feed them like when we had a moth infestation every where in the house but the fish room or the tetra that ate the rubberband chunk. They've eaten bits of eco complete that get stirred up or fall off something I remove from the tank. Aside form those red worms some fish or snail always eats whatever falls in the tank whether it is edible or not.

Mine dont care too much for tubifex. They will eat them but they devour red blood worms. I can feed tubifex and they will be in the tank for a couple of hours. Feed red blood worms and they are goners. All of my fish snub them esp the cory's. I bet the red blood worms have a stonger odor in the water and are easier for the cat fish to detect.

Mine didnt like big als food @first....but now they go crazy for it even though I no longer mix it with garlic.
They also didn't like bioblend when I fed it to them :%).

Hmm... my fish won't eat the freeze dried tubifex worms... and I can NEVER get the stupid cube to stick to the glass. No one seems interested in it, anyway.

Frozen daphnia seems to be ignored by my bettas... too small, perhaps. Smaller fish like it.

I've got some "slow" sinking pellet type food (from hikari, I think). It sinks too fast for my fish, but the cories like it, so all's good.

My fish will chow down on most foods, though, at least, those I've tried!

~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~

my fish dont realy care for potato, gave it once, it was never touched and i dont bother sticking the tubifex cubes to the glass, i just hold them and squeeze them in the water and when i do that, they (the worms) just start floating away, then my betta girls come over and do the rest of the dispursig, they take a large mouth full, turn around, spit it out, then go back and get some to eat, then to it again, but usually i just shake em around first, then another for my female bettas, this is in my 29 gallon, but thats how i feed them

I agree, those freeze-dried tubiflex worm cubes do not stick to the glass wall. Anyway, regardless of whether or not the cubes stick, my fish (mostly Gouramies) do not care for tubiflex worms. They do, however, love bloodworms, and glassworms - they do not say no to daphnia or krill either.

Uuuum, Hmmmm, mine don't like OSI algae wafers as much as the hikari, but they are getting used to them. I think mine are also a bit sick of freeze-dried tubifex. My catfish don't really like pumpkin either.

Live, frozen or dry...are there any foods your fish don't like and simply won't eat?

I have over 40 species and none of them will eat frozen white mostquito larvae or Big Al's Sinking Sticks. Not a bite of either, silly fish

Wardley's Sprimp Pellets. Not even my cichlids will eat those, even crushed up. Spoiled brats they all are I tell ya. They only like the good stuff.

NONE of my fish ate wardleys shrimp pellets, they all eat it and spit it out, even the oscars.....

Maybe theres something wrong with that brand..

Most of my fish don't like the freeze-dried tubifex, but will pretty much eat anything else the can get in their mouths.

Oh kitten, I hear you on the freeze dried tubifex worms! I threw it away rather than fight with it when the fish were so disinterested anyway! NEVER sticks to the glass! All it does is make a mess! Other than that, my fish will eat anything they can fit in their mouths. Live brine shrimp and guppy fry were a favorite of the angels. The platies big down on as much as they can... I think platy fry is their personal favorite though. Usually one... MAYBE two fry make it through to adulthood! The bettas like their betta bites more than anything else! I can't come into the room without them all coming to the surface and wiggling around begging for food.

I just toss in the freeze dried tubifex cubes. They float around and everyone picks them apart(angelfish, gourami, tetras, yoyo loaches..). I did get them to stick to the glass for a few mins but the fish ended up pulling them off and then the snails cleaned up the left overs still stuck there. All my snails love wardley shrimp pellets. The otos and cory will also eat some but usually get pushed out by the mass of snails fighting over the pellets. My gourami waits till the pellets have softened then nips the snails so they'll move and takes a huge mouthful of pellet.

Mine are the same as superlion's, they won't touch the Wardley Betta Pellets.
