Answers:

If your fish is being picky about flakes, you are probably feeding too much. You should always leave your fish a bit hungry. The excess fish waste and possibly uneaten food is very hard on your tank. I feed half a dozen different products to my fish, new fish always take a few trys with each different food (except for the brine shrimp and beef heart) before they get used to eating them.

plain old flakes you get at the pet store

but try and mash them a bit before you dump em in the tank

they are probably spitting them out because the flakes are too big.

don't put in too much - one pinch if you have less than 10 fish - if your fish are swimming around and healthy looking, they are eating - trust me

Get a good quality color enhancing flake food and all of them should be happy with it. Many fish do the eating and spitting out of food, it is normal. When he gets hungry, he will eat.

I feed my fish once a day and skip one or two days a week just to keep them interested in seeing me. I have done this for years and it causes no harm to the fish. The only fish you need to feed more often are babies (fry). They need to be fed 3-4 times a day with a high protein (45-50%) fine flake food.
