convicts wont eat floating cichlids pellets will they ) i bought some today thinkin they were sinking ones and he wont eat them ahhh what a waste of money what are some good brands of sinking pellets that he should like...how long will it take my convict to get to full size i measured it and its 2 and a half inches

convicts can take floatin pellets, if fed on only one type of food fish can some times not recognize a different type as food, sounds harsh but persist with it and he'll learn...

...if not dont wait to long
