Coaxing Onto Flake

[gsta13]

i have in my tank guppies rams and kissing G's.
only one of the rams and the guppies eat the flakes, i can only feed the kissers by dropping in an algae wafer, and the kissers dont like blood worm do they?
how can i coax the fish onto flake food?

You could try soaking some flake food in water that has had a garlic clove soaking in it. Then don't feed them at all for a full day or so then pour the flake food in. Garlic stimulates their appetite for some reason.
Good luck!

This does work, when i first added courgette into my daughters tank it was completely ignored. I tried again soaking it in water with a Little garlic and when I added it to the tank i thought her fish had all turned into little piranhas .
