How could I get my Lyretail A. to eat flakes, or pellets ?

Hey everyone !

So I want my lyre tail anthias to eat flakes and/or pellets, but atleast either. She only eats mysis, not even artemia. What's your idea, what worked for you ?

Try TDO Chroma Boost (Size Small). I have 6 lyretails and 1 squareback anthias, and they all gobble it up. It’s a very good quality food.

I just fed the tank, and they learned on their own.

Has anyone tried garlic to speed up the process?

That's strange, IMO Anthias eat anything including each other if they get hungry enough.

Maybe you're not getting them in the right frame of mind, i.e. hungry.

It will take a month or longer for them to eat pellets. I have 10 lyretail anthias. 6 of them are new and just started to eat pellets after a few weeks. I feed mix of TDO and DKi pellets

I am constantly feeding flakes, but mysis only 1x/week so they must be hungry.

How long have you had it? I feed my fish at the same times every day. So if I add a new kind of food, they just gobble it, they assume I’m giving them food because that’s the feeding time.

She is the same age as the tank, only a monthor so less, 1.5yr old.
