Picky eating percs
 
My percs are about 13yrs. old now and have decided ordinary flakes are not good enough for them anymore. They have always eaten most any. Only the female likes pellets but they both gobble mysis or brine of course.

So I ordered some Cyclop-eeze & New Life Spectrum flakes from BRS. Of course they cant come across border....:doh:

I also ordered my Prodibio from Reef Supplies, and added a small can of New Era Marine flakes. Figured it was enough as my others coming from BRS right.

I guess at least I have it to try. Any other suggestions? Dont want them eating a mysis only diet.

We have 50 true percs and 50 ocellaris in our SPS system.

Fauna Marin recently came out with food specifically designed for clownfish. Since using it, my clowns have become more vibrant orange and they eat until their bellies are bulging. lol

Oh yea. My male likes that to. She wont though, just chases him out of their home to protect her. He hung on so long once and when I jumped, he actually fell back in from out of the water. 13yrs. I be feeding that sob and still. :lol:

Hoping the New Era is as good as its hype.

Does their food stink? My clowns won't eat food that doesn't smell, they don't like new era pellets but they go crazy for Hakari pellets cause it smells.

My flakes dont but my Formula one pellets do. But then only the female eats them. I need some smelly flakes.

I thought the Cyclop-eeze flakes would be very good but then could not get them in that order.
