For starters I would omit the orange juice and pulp. ;) Like any new food it may take a few days before the fish will eat it. And it depends on the type of fish and how the food was prepared, raw, cooked.........
 
I have a mix of cichlids johanni,bumble bee, bushardi, ele. Yellow. Any ideas on what i should do. Sorry about the spelling.
 
For my africans I use:
garlic
shrimp
peas
broccoli
spirulina powder
and multi-vitamins

They go nuts for it. Try cutting out the O.J. and pulp, it might be too acidic. Maybe the carrots too, when ground up they can have a strong smell.
 
The garlic opens their appetite so just leave as is.
 
My fish liked the second batch alot better still need yo tweak it alil but good start. Thanks all
