Iā€™ve recently gotten into fishkeeping a month ago, keeping a couple mollies and platys together. I switched from flakes to pellets just yesterday. My mollies are eating fine, but all of my platys are spitting them out, which iā€™m assuming means theyā€™re too big. The pellets are 2mm right now. Does anyone know if I should get 1 or .5? Iā€™m afraid of getting one that will be too big, or too small that will cloud my tank.
 
I give my platy these:

She also spits them out but goes back afterwards and pecks the pieces off the floor. Fish can sometimes spit out food before eating it again so that it is a more appropriate size for their consumption.
