Bolivian Feeding

[Jesuitstudent05]

Hi,

I just got two new Bolivian Rams which I am housing in a planted 30 gallon tank along with one bristlenose pleco. My problem is that they don't seem to be eating the cichlid pellets that i am feeding them in the morning. I tried buying bloodworms but they won't come to the surface for those either. I have noticed that they pick at the algae wafer I have left for the pleco to eat. Any ideas on what i can try or does everyone think they are just too shy to come to the surface and just find the food when it sinks to the bottom? Or should I try a different type of food for them? Any suggestions would be appreciated.


Thanks

mine aren't the best eaters either. i don't see them eat pellets i drop in unless it floats right in front of them, but they pick around a lot after and probably find most of it. try frozen foods too, those sink and my rams love it.

I used to feed my bolivians sinking shrimp pellets
