Yeah! And my O started eating pellets again!!
Just bought him hikari cichlid gold. First time I fed him those. Looking forward on seeing his colors. His staple diet before are superworms and he's been with me for 6mos.
The trauma turned him better.

spot on m8, really pleased for ya, i use hikari gold, makes oscars look amazing

Thanks. Lots of member here do mention them. That's why that's the kind I bought.
I'm just exited because most O's ignore pellets when they get used to live foods right? I gave it a shot and he ate them. Very glad he did.

thats fantastic mates, spot on

There are different types of hikari for cichlids though (a bit confusing). So I didn't bother to ask them why. I just read here about cichlid gold and I went for it.

haha i know exactly what ya mean! i was stood looking at them all for a while at first, got afew and experiemnted and now use the hikari staple and mix is up with hikari gold from time to time, plus crickets, blood worm and any left over fishing bait!

!!! Mixed pellets! Now why didn't I think of that?
I'm gonna try that next time I visit our LFS.
