Aw! They Wont Eat It?

[kevinthecow]

Well, a few days ago I ran out of bloodworms. Started feeding them fish flakes for a week or so.

.__. now i had my chance to buy food, so i went. I bought Spirula Wafers, (Some brand or sort, thing. cant spell.) and Ocean plankton.

So, I just tried feeding my fish because I ddint feed them in the morning.

The wafer is like a toy to the loaches. they wont eat it. (How are wafers suppose to be eaten? Suck on it till it dissolves?)
The plankton? Well its just floating there because my fish won't want to eat it..

Any help? My brave frog is in hiding for fun, and my scared frog is out. I tried feeding my scared frog but it dashed away as soon as i tried hand feeding.

I tried hand feeding my other fish. (Loaches love hand feeding.) Turns out they didnt bother. Are they just not hungry?

So it's basicailly freeze dried brine shrimp? That's different. Maybe they will warm up to it. Sometimes if I feed my fish a new food they don't always eat it very well the first time it's offered. I would skip feeding for a day and try the new food again.

Yes, I'd skip feeding for a day or two, and try again. If you've been feeding Bloodworms daily, they've been "spoiled"...it's my opinion that Bloodworms should not be fed daily.

yeah i agree,
you should only feed blood worms to your fish once every 2-3 days...

try not feeding your fish for about 1 or 2 days and then feed them..
