What does everyone feed their harlequin tusk?

[salt210]

I have had mine about 3 or 4 months and he seems to have lost his taste for krill.

mine loves squid, and "Trigger Formula" frozen cubes made by ocean nutrition. The trigger fromula has sea urchin in it.

silversides thawed with some garlic and vitamins soaked in. mine loves to chase ghost shrimp for a treat every now and then. have also seen him eating the algea sheets put in there for the foxface.

Mine used to love squid and prawn. I too would soak the prawn and squid with garlic and vitamins and the Tusk would gobble it up as many times as I would offer it.

Where would I get the garlic? I dont think that Ive seen any around here

I picked up some "garlic guard" at the LFS, just go ask them. have seen some people on here that will dice fresh garlic for the food to soak in too.

Alright thanks for the help

Salt210, you should be able to find several different garlic products at the stores in Orlando. The store I buy all my fish and supplies at currently has some available. I am not sure if the rules of not posting any other place apply to actual stores too or if it is only for online sources. In any case feel free to email me at alfon76@msn.com with a clearly labeled subject on the email (so that it doesn't get deleted) and I will tell you the info.

You can just buy fresh garlic from publix or winn dixie. It usually works better than garlic gaurd anyways.
