perc will only eat frozen brine

[ross]

Hey guys
I just got 2 false percs last friday. The only thing they will eat is frozen brine. I have tried zooplankton, flake and scallops. They will swim up to it but then won't eat it. Do you think garlic would help them eat it?

I got a formula one mix that my clowns seem to like it is formulated especially for clowns. Also my clowns weren't eating much at first so I got some live brine shrimp and they took to that easily and then after that they started eating more variety. Not sure if that helps, but it worked for me

garlic usually works pretty good, i like to use mysis shrimp soaked in garlic. just give them a little time and they should start accepting most foods you offer.

I went to my local walmart and bought a mixture of squid mussels crabs and octopus. I bought about 6 pounds for 4 bucks. Put a whole bottle of garlic juice in the mixture and chopped it in a food processor. Works great, and its alot cheaper than cubes!
