2 days is not a problem. It could possibly take a bit more. Just give nothing for a couple a days prior, then try introducing a few pellets. If no reaction, remove & wait another day. Try again till successful. They're generally not as stubborn as 'O's but can be a bit willful. Bad habits are easily learned & sometimes hard to break but it can be done! Stick to your guns!! "T"
tony can you please post a pic of your dempsey i would really appreciate it! i want to see as many pics of them as i can
Them spitting back up is not a stomach prob. They grind a little bit at a time swallowing some and spitting the rest repeatedly, this is common with pellets.
They also love a bite of frozen beef heart every couple days, maybe a chunk of frozen blood worm every couple days in between. Same goes with the shrimp.
The only flake food mine will eat is the wardley brand in the light blue can at walmart.
For some reason all my fish strongly prefer that flavor and it is really cheap too!
They also love night crawlers!. Just try and squeeze some dirt out of em first.
Mine love blood worms so much they tear bites off a frozen chunk from my fingers.
