Yellow Wrasse eating

[MacWilliams]

I have a yellow wrasse and he doesn't seem too interested in the new life spectrum pellets I just got for the tank. The other inhabitants love it. I have tried soaking it in some garlic and he only ate one and then just swam threw the rest and wouldn't eat it. I'm wondering has anyone else had a yellow wrasse eat these pellets? Or do I need to feed the tank another food so he eats? He loves brine shrimp but that's a given for most fish.. Thanks.

Mine ate the heck out of them.

Guess I just need to wait and let him get hungry enough. Hah. Thanks for the response.

Update: he ate a few pellets the first feeding today. So I guess he was full from the first feeding of the day yesterday. My clowns destroy it so fast. My female got a noticeably full stomach which kinda scared me but its gone down now and she looks happy.

Different fish, even within a species, take to different foods differently and on different timescales. Gotta keep working with them. One trick I use is to soak a new food in juice from a food they're already eating. And add the two foods simultaneously for a while.

Oh. That's a great idea. Ill try that next feeding. Thanks.
