I would get the frozen multi pack and each day try a little of a different one. Also try adding some garlic juice to the food.
Once they start eating they won't stop.
Rotate your food and add garlic one time and vitamins another. Good luck. Also try the frozen mistis shrimp. Mine are real piggies.

alright will do..i was just getting a little worried.....its funny when my lights go out and the moonlights come on the firefish darts under some LR in a cave he kinda built and the blue hermit crabs all crawl together in the front and stay there...and the clown swims up top but when the lights go on they all "wake up" and move all over lol is this normal? jw

I feed mine ocean nutrition formula 1 pellets, frozen mysis, and frozen spirulina brine shrimp (their favorite). I dont feed flakes because they seem to pollute the tank faster (just my opinion).
