Yeah I got a few picky eaters and I always think "oh no their sick" but it is common to have a few that aren't as ferocious at feeding time, great tips✌️☮️🐡

[@adamc7918]

Yes I agree. It's hard to determine a sick fish from a picky fish occasionally

[@darrenmurray7204]

I mix frozen brine shrimp with pellets in the water as the frozen brine shrimp defrost ..they love it

Great vid Adam. Love seeing your fish Dude. Your the man.

[@adamc7918]

Thanks matt I appreciate it

[@angadik]

I just started the soften up method they go crazy on it

[@adamc7918]

Mine do the same. Seems to help

[@yepperdeedooda]

First thing I thought of was to let them starve because they eventually eat after a while. My Frontosa cichlid is very difficult though and this kind of advice is what I need.

[@adamc7918]

Thanks for watching, best of luck. I have tried the starving (fasting) but I've found with malawi haps they eventually turn aggressive on eachother if they get too hungry. May work better with fronts

[@TheKill678]

Thank you. I’m going to try this

[@adamc7918]

Best of luck. Thanks for watching

[@7gshark]

[@adamc7918]

Thank you sir I appreciate it

[@WolverineXXX21]

Ok definitely going to try the soaking method I have a few fish that spit food out often and should be bigger than they are and I have a smaller fish I’m trying to get to eat more

Awesome tips Adam lovely feeding aswell 👍👌

Thanks dan I appreciate it

[@smashbrosguyt915]

Mine won’t eat which sucks. They live in a 55 gallon with two turtles. One passive, the other a murder queen. Fortunately the turtles like basking but the fish still won’t eat. Maybe too many hiding places?

[@adeelshaikh2129]

Thanks for info Adam

[@adamc7918]

Appreciate u watching

[@iMiiaz]

My chiclid thats in its tank on its own is hiding, not eating, hitting itself against the glass, rubbing against the rocks, and swimming really fast back and forth after I cleaned its tank since it was really dirty. I dont want it to die since ive had it for a few months now. Do you know what I can do to make it go back to normal? It used to eat whenever I fed it to perfectly fine before I cleaned the tank.

[@adamc7918]

Scraping and rubbing on rocks is sometimes due to PH changes. Id start by checking ph

Hi have a bucco about 5inch it went through a lot get to me was in bag for 48 hours.he has made a big recovery but can’t get him to eat tried prawns and dryed krill and pellets any advice ?

[@adamc7918]

Hi Andrew. I would try some flakes. Or I'd try soaking pellets for 10 minutes then feeding. He might like the soaked softer pellets

[@jamesuthman8931]

I have an African Chiclids staying vertical in the corner. Any thoughts?

[@adamc7918]

Could be a number of things, is it getting bullied?

Chum. That’s what people use to attract fish on piers.

[@adamc7918]

Yes

[@karsai7173]

Best tip. Dont feed them 5 days then give them pallets and they will eat them directly

[@adamc7918]

Yes that's another approach
