On my jar it says "Excellent for Finicky Fish." The 5 fish in my tank (2 clowns, dottyback, goby, blenny, are not finicky eaters, but they won't touch the shrimp. Well I did see the goby eat one once. I soak the shrimp in RO water to get them waterlogged, but the fish just ignore them.
Is there a trick to making them more appealing to the fish?

Once in a blue moon I'll feed some freeze dried Mysis that's been soaking in Selcon. Like eatbreakfast said I dump it in front of the PH to get it moving in the water instead of just floating on the surface, some fish eat it some don't.

There is a lot water movement in my tank and the shrimp scoot right along in the water column. The fish chase them down but never bite. I might try the Selcon trick. If the Selcon doesn't work I will have over a lifetime supply of Mysis!
