Kissing Gouramis

Question
Hi Karen,I have 165 ltr tank, having 2 parrots, 2 oscars, 1 dollar, 2 pink kissing Gouramis. i need your suggestion about feeding kissing Gouramis. whenever i give live worms they eat properly. i tried everything like giving flakes, dried worm & sinking granules(parrots eat all). getting live worms everyday is not possible here, i get once in a week. my kids like them. kissing Gouramis are healthy & strong. pl suggest how to cope with this problem.

Answer
Hello!
The kissing gouramis are only eating live worms? This type of problem happens a lot with fish that get too use to eating "fresh" food like this. The best thing to do is slowly reduce the amount of worms they do get and continue offering the other types of foods. It may be a bit frustrating but keep trying and eventually they should be hungry enough to accept the new foods.

You may have to hold off feeding them for 1-2 days and only offer flakes and sinking granules. But don't give up!

Best of luck!
Karen~
