Agreed! I have never seen anything that won't eat cyclopeeze! Also, see your LFS about live mysid shrimp. I had a zebra goby not wanting to eat. He attacked the shrimp when they hit the tank! I wish you the best, good luck with it.

I'd recommend it. That's what ORA feeds them so it may take him a while to learn to eat anything else.

I am sorry to hear they are like this.
Here is a quote from another site, in which the poster had contacted ORA about the picassos they had with white stringy poop, and not eating.
"So I talked to Laura over at ORA. Very nice lady. She told me they feed a combination of Hikari Marine S and Oraglow. She also suggested metronidazole as they had white stringy stools. I tried the antibiotic and the new food and they ate in a couple of hours. They seem better now and I am wondering how long I have to give them the metronidazole before I can introduce them to the main tank."

WOW sure is pretty little fish!
I bought a little clown that wouldnt eat, i tried frozen brime shrimp he acted like he hadnt eaten in months! Now he eats anything, i guess he is expecting it to be the frozen shrimp, sometimes he'll pretest and spit it out its kinda funny.
Anyways the frozen brine shrimp got my clown eating.

Thanks for the advice. Bought some today and he tore it up as soon as it hit the water. What a relief. Was worried I was going to lose him. I hope as his appetite increases, so to will his menu.

Glad to hear the lil guy is eating.
Give him a couple days on the cyclops and then try some different things to vary his diet.
