My angel fish will only eat freeze dried black worms


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I recently got two angelfish from Dan (3 weeks). One of them eats everything that it spies in the tank but the other one, a red back Manacapuru (sp.), will not touch anything other than freeze dried blackworms that I stick to the side of the tank. I've tried flakes, pellets, bug bites, etc. to no avail. I don't offer the worms every day either because I keep hoping he will eat something else. I'm going to be going on a three week vacation and I will be using an auto feeder. I guess I will just put a bunch of different things in it and hope for the best. I thought angelfish were supposed to be little piggies?

My grandson will only eat chips….  Until he gets hungry and the chips arent provided…. At that point a ham sandwich starts looking more attractive…

Funny but true. @Pepere

Yes, this exactly. You're not going to starve your angel. They can easily go up to a week with no food. possibly 2 weeks. Keep offering up what you want them to eat. They'll learn when they get hungry
