hikari vs. new life spectrum ... fussy eaters?

[ronnieroach]

hey folks,

just wanted to see if others have had this "problem"

i recently tried switching my africans from hikari to NLS due to AA reviews and advice .. the majority of my fish dug it but a few quit eating it after a few days .. i just threw in some hikari and they all went NUTS for it .. i think they arent fans of the sinking pellets

basically, i'm wondering if anybody else had issues getting their fish to switch to NLS or trouble switching at all.. ?? and if it could be cuz theyre used to the floating pellets.. ??

any advice or stories are appreciated!!

The main issue is that NLS tastes different so it throws them off, they just aren't used to it. Floating vs. sinking shouldn't be a big problem since fish will learn very fast if it has to do with food.

thanks FG

i'm gonna keep trying to mix it up between the NLS, hikari & my bi-weekly bloodworm feeding.
