Pellet training.

[Setragni]

I picked up a longnose hawk fish from a friend. The problem is my friend only feed his fish with frozen/live food.
I do pellets and frozen once a week.

The longnose has no interest for my pellets. I tried soaking the it in the mysis shrimp and tried both mixed up. He wont eat the pellets.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

Just a thought: Maybe its not his diet. With a nose like that, hes bound to be looking for little worms or bugs in little cracks and holes in the wild, so seeing just round things sink, isnt what hes looking for. I talked to a guy before saying his butterfly fish wont eat small mysis shrimp, only the bigger mysis because it looks like his natural meal(big worms such as brissleworms, ect). I wouldnt stress over it if he eats mysis. Just on the days you feed pellets, go to the other side and put a little mysis for him to get a little snack out of. Or just feed mysis more often. Best of luck.
