A rescue, a sweetheart... and a potential emergency?

If he wants to eat out of his water bowl, just put fish in there and splash the water a bit. Then you can slowly start putting other prey items in there with the fish and he'll likely eat what is in there. You can reduce the fish amount and increase the other food or you can just keep it varied (which is best).

I have a Ribbon and he will only eat out of his waterbowl. He had just been on f/t(frozen/thawed) fish, but when I got him pinkies I figured I would feed them out of the water sicne they are not water animals(I had thawed it in the same cup of water as the fish so I figured it would be scented enough). But he passed it completely up, even checked it out, but had no interest. So I put it in his water, and he went and ate it immediately. So yours may be a little like mine

He has taken 3 fish(2 seperate occasions) out of my hand, but thats after 2 months of slowly working with him
