It has been over four weeks since convincing my volitan that pellets are good.
I don't even need the feeding stick anymore, I just toss a few in the tank and he will come grab them right off the surface. He is not even fussy as to which pellets I toss in now, presently he eats both the ExLg. Fish Formula and the Spectrum H2O Stable Wafers with gusto.
Any and all of you out there with large predators that are tired of defrosting foods and buying live feeders. I would highly recommend to give these pellets a try. It does require a bit of patience and willingness to starve your fish, but the payoff is well worth it.
A parting photo of my volitan after being on a diet of just NLS pellets and the occasional frozen mysis it steals from the porcupone puffer (bare in mind I have only had the Porc for a week and a half).
