Hi, thanks and I'm back again.
I'd a problem with my pajama cardinal. He just refuses to eat pellet food or flake food and only insists on fresh food. Is there anyway I can get him to take pellet food? Pls help and once again, thanks in advance.:)

I've found that finicky eaters can be acclimated so long as they see other fish eating the food. Is there anything else in the tank that will eat the pellets? If so, then it should just be a matter of time before the cardinal begins eating them as well.

Aside from that, try soaking the pellets in garlic juice. Fish cannot resist the taste!

I have two very large pyjamas.
They are carnivores.They need raw shrimp etc.
Mine will occasionally eat flake food.
