I pumped my whole comm for close to a month on quarantined live feeders... Then all of a sudden stopped the feeding. 3days later threw in MP, 1 ate. Next day throw in some more, more take. By end of the week, all are on MP. So far it's worked for me... The only one I haven't had any success with so far is the L14... 2 months already and I still haven't seen it eat anything... Somehow, he still seems to have a lot of energy, coz when I try to shift him to observe the stomach, he fights back... Really fights back.

I had this problem too.
After separating according to these size; in different tanks (2 ft). I started feeding them bloodworms first. After a few weeks they slowly started taking MP (cut to small size). To me it might be because they get "bullied" cos they are smaller. |

The value of the fish is inversely proportional to the success of converting to mp. Example , if you have a ST or platinum gar or snow arowana , would you starve them to weeks or months ?? you will be afraid of fish being stunted .

I think stop feeding or stare them for few days or a week they might take MP. Mine not only take MP, pellets and sweet cone also wrack.
