What to feed my True Percs.?

[scubanut]

I just got two true percula clowns about one week ago and they haven't touched frozen shrimp, blood worms, or fish flakes. Any suggestions on what to feed these guys???

I agree, try feeding the clowns some spauralina flakes. Add one drop Zoecon and four drops Zoe to the food about 5 minutes before feeding.

I am surprised, mine love frozen brine shrimp soaked in zoa. Don't feed them for a day or 2 then they will most likely eat..

When I first got my percs it took them about a week before they would eat anything. Then they slowly started accepting food. Now they eat anything i give them.
One thing you can try if available to you is live brine. This seems to stimulate feeding in most fish.
I like to offer different foods on different days. I offer them variuos frozen foods, flakes, and live brine. They eat it all.
They will also nip at the seaweed selects that I clip in there for the tang.
Also a varied diet is more healthy for the fish.
