I just do not have luck with them putting anything else in their mouths as they do not appear to like the taste of the stuff. They (all I have ever had) have loved the taste and notion of the Hikari freeze dried bloodworms, never had one refuse it even had one that would eat nothing else. I find that when I chopped up the food that was too big they would not even go near it and it would just get water logged and fall to the bottom of the tank and the others would eat it anyway. So I just allow them to be the little prima donnas that they want to be and have their way. I have foods that I don't like so why shouldn't they?
