The only problem with that is the oscarsI’d try some fasting for a couple of days. Then retry the pellet. Think it’ll take.
Fast a few days and pellet heavily. Remove what’s not eaten. Can use tongs and target feed.The only problem with that is the oscars
Ok thanksFast a few days and pellet heavily. Remove what’s not eaten. Can use tongs and target feed.
Having a fish that requires training to eat pellets...in a tank with multiple oscars...is about the equivalent of setting up a Hibachi in the grizzly bear exhibit at the zoo and trying to grill burgers. Either way, you are injecting a whole bunch of extra challenge into what should be a very simple thing.
Great advice.I would suggest using an opaque tube of PVC or something similar, lowering it to the catfish's hiding spot and dropping the food in so that the oscars don't see it on the way down.
