How To Get Fish Used To New Foods

[AverageAquarist22]

Hey everyone, so I recently rescued a guppy from my friend (I picked him up on Saturday.) She was only feeding him pellets, and now I’m trying to get him to eat other stuff so he can have a varied diet. So far I have tried freeze dried bloodworms, frozen brine shrimp, and cooked and shelled peas. He ignored both the peas and the bloodworms, and only took a couple bites of frozen brine shrimp. Does anyone have tips for getting fish to take new foods?

I heard positive comments to soak food in garlic juice.

Hmm, I’ll have to look into that! Thanks, I really didn’t want to keep on feeding him Tetra flakes

I agree, variety is the key.
