CK Needs Live?

[AG458]

I recently bought Hikari sinking carnivore pellets for my fish. My juvenile pbass like loves them and eats them before they hit the ground. My pleco will try to eat them if they sink. However, my CK will not eat them. He's looking thinner than normal, and I don't want him to starve. I also don't want to feed him feeders, because I was suggested against feeding my bass live. What should I do?

If possible quarantine the feeders first.

your CK might needs bottom feeding fish that eat pellets other than pleco to encourage him.
