What have you been trying him on?

I had one many years ago and don't recall having a problem getting him to eat. I used to feed cichlid pellets (for the cichlids he lived with!) and algae flakes for him as well as blood worm a few times a week. He used to come to the surface and eat the pellets!

Never heard of a picky pictus before.. What have you been trying to feed him? If you are trying to get him on pellets that he isnt eating, feed him sinking pellets soaked in with a blood worms for a little while. He should like that and get used to pellets..
