New fish what to eat

[Trevczernick]

I have two very young A. Cacatuoides in a 60G. I have small sinking pellets but they seem to big to eat. I also have some cichlid flakes and frozen bloodworms but having a difficult time getting them to eat. When I put the flakes in they float and the fish don’t notice them. Are there any other options to get my fish more interested.

They seem healthy and active and the sinking pellets they nip at but don’t really eat it.

What about frozen or even better live daphnia or cyclops? -rottifiers are great too.

Frozen Artemia (brine shrimp) work great too, I think they are pretty soft so the fish can bite them off or compress them easily if they are too big.

Thanks for the options I’ll give them a try.

For any new fish that wont eat my go to is live food [blood worms, mosquito larva or adult brine shrimp].
