Fish too picky at supper time

[Earl45]

My fish won't eat flakes or pellets. I've soaked everything in garlic, nothing. I've tried blending all sorts of stuff including blending up everything into a slurry - and they still pick out their favorites.



They will begrudgingly eat some frozen stuff, but for the most part they will only eat cyclopeeze, brine and mysis shrimp.


I think eating a diverse menu is important to a fish's health and am concerned they will only eat their favorite meal which could lead to malnutrition. Should I be concerned, or is this how it is?

Wow.... so I must have a bunch of rare fish! The only ones that don't eat flake?


That's amazing!

you are coreect, your fish should have a very varied diet. But just keep trying. eventually, they will learn.
