"I don't mind stealiin bread, from the.."
no not the song..
my SFE.

Was feeding it H2O Life(i think thats the brand) silver sides and vitamin soaked scallops. 3 days ago i picked up some Ocean Nutrition silver sides and now it hasn't touched them since i switched. it only took 1 bite out of a scallop and thats all its eaten in 3 days.
i know they can go weeks but still its just kinda one of those things you don't like to wait out. should i get some of the silver sides that its use to, or just wait it out till he eats the ones i have/ the scallops and squid i offer ?
thanks

because the only store that sells that brand is waay overpriced for even a super small pack of them.
i just got it to eat a lil bit of squid though :)

GOOD...I was going to suggest buying your food online then....

I am sure he will come around. Sometimes it helps, when switching foods, to rotate back and forth between the two until he get's used to the new brand.

i tried the ocean nutritions silverslides once for my fish a while back and my fish wouldnt eat them either... i wasnt sure if it was just the packs i purchased or are all of them..i tried a few times..all the same results.. was it me or do they seam to be kinda mushy feeling? and larger... i normally buy the san fransisco bay(sallys).. my fish love those soaked in vit or not

so today he ate half a silverside and another chunk of squid but is still looking for his old food.
when i get paid im prob just gonna order a bunch of frozen food online and stock up, it'll rush my new RODI unit im getting too lol. stupid unit i have you cant replace the chambers and im getting cyno :/
ive put some white shrimp in there(i have a qt tank full haha)
but everyone gets to them before the eel can. ive even put them in at night but my puffers still tag them first.
as for unleashed, i noticed that too, they are a lot bigger and not as firm as the H2O Life ones.(switching back with online order). also i noticed their "sides" arent as "silver" as others...hmm
