Anthias what do you feed yours

[RogerWilco357]

Well I just picked up A pair and they are in
QT and wonder what do you guys feed your
anthias ? Mine seem to be finicky eaters seems
brine is all they want not taking to the pellets or
flake.

They like Mysis shrimp and formula one. Mine eat just about anything including flake, but they don't care for pellets too much. They seem to be carnivores.

I rinse/defrost 2 cubes of hikari mysis in a strainer, squeeze the water out, put it in a small teacup and drop 4 drops selcon an 4 drops of garlic extreme. soak for an hour then feed slowly by dropping in current- FIRST WEEK
soak formula 1 in selcon and garlic extreme (enough till the pellets get soaked) then let it dry out. feed a little mysis and pellets in between so you trick them to eat the pellets. in about 2 days they should start eating exclusively pellets. I feed all my fish formula 1 soaked in selcon/garlic extreme. colors are there and healthy as can be!

I start anthias on cyclopeeze a couple of times a day, after a few days I start putting some mysis in with the cyclo, works pretty well. What kind of anthias did you get?
