Killiefish fussy eater

[Ry4n7]

I have a small killiefish(unsure of the type, it was unlabelled in the store) in with some adf..but it only eats bloodworms.

I tried flakes..the food that sticks in glass and a few sinking pellets(which the frogs enjoy)

The killie doesn't seem to eat anything unless it's bloodworm which I was told should only be a treat rather than an everyday feed

can you post a picture of the killifish?

Most killifish are fed frozen food and tend to ignore dry foods like flake. However, if you offer them variety from day 1 they usually accept a wide range of foods. Try other frozen foods like brineshrimp and daphnia, and small live foods like moths, flies, mozzies & mozzie larvae, aphids and ants.

He's been in there for a few weeks and barely ate. I'll call to the shop on Friday and get a bigger variety of frozen food to see if that helps. I'll give a feed of bloodworm 2moro.

It's a Nothobranchius species and possibly a gold colour form. They should take other foods tho given time.
