nope, he wouldn't be eating it if he didn't like it.

He probably just enjoys the variety Try some brine shrimp or blackworms or pea innards, he might like the change

Some fish are just weird like that.

There's a bichir at the store where I work that will not touch feeders of any kind (guppies, goldfish, shrimp, etc...), but he loves the floating cichlid pellets. He goes up to the surface and eats what all the other fish do.

Haha, a healthy fish will eat whenever; it doesn't mean they are hungry. You'd have to fatten up a fish a heck of a lot to get them to stop eating.

I used to have a BGK that swam to the surface for flakes.:%)

Mine will eat pretty much anything that I put in the tank. He especially loves the cichlid sinking crumbles. I've seen him rough up a Blood Parrot over them.
