They don't like the all natural stuff, just the processed stuff. They go crazy over New Life Spectrum, so that's what I've been feeding them, but I was shocked they didn't take more to the shrimp pellts, especially my yo-yos. They just ignore them. *Back in the saddle!*

They learn what food is and it doesnt occur that food can look diffent. Some fish are more finacky(sp?) than others. Try miving the new stuff in with the old food. Gradually feed move of the new stuff until that is all you feed them. It just might take some getting used to it for them. Good luck. 20 Gallon Long: Aquaclear 300 2 Bolivian Rams, Mikrogeophagus altispinosus: Gumby and Pokey

Strange how they get accustomed to a type and won't eat anything different. *Kristin*

I had the same problem with Elec.Yellow Labs. & after 3/4 weeks they got used to eat Nishikoi foods, instead of JBL & Tetra. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
