Picky eaters

[scubadawg]

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

It's the same with my Aptasia eating file fish, doesn't like Aptasia, flaked food, loves brine shrimp , along with my peppermint shimp, likes brine shrimp and really loves Mysis shrimp, go after taking the food from the anenome Can't win
