Please, i have inly one short question

[Goldfish loach boy]

Are these good to feed to my 1.5 inch Raphael catfish, he sucks on it and then spits it out , are they too big? He does eat the flakes that fall, same company, just that the flakes are called "tropical, premium flakes for community fish"
Thanks

He doesn't like the hard texture. Some cichlids are the same way when you convert them to pellet foods. I have a pair of convicts and they would starve before they ate a pellet. Soak the pellets in just enough water so they sit in it and wait to feed until it is soaked up. You can add a micro pinch of flake food to really give it a smell.
