Picky eaters
 
Hi
I have 2 firefish in 1 tank, they will eat anything, my other tank has 2 firefish, they don't like flaked food, tried 3 different brands , they try it and spit it out, only thing they eat is brine shrimp, any suggestions? to get they to eat some other stuff?

Thanks

soak the flakes in as much shrimp juice you can and try different shrimp juices. cyclopeeze juice would be good to:) good luck nothing worse then a stubborn eater!!:)

and make the flake food avalable as much as possible, once they are familiar with it or realize it tastes good they will go after it more and more:)
