whenever I add selcon to nori or dry food my fish dont attack it like they usually do. is this something that goes away with time?

At least not with my Tangs or Angels. If I use Silcon only my Snails and Urchin will touch it oddly. My Tangs and Angels will just ignore it. When I put Nori in with out it the hammer a sheet and it’s gone in under 2 minutes. I’ve even just tried 2 drops on it and they won’t touch it.

I mix liquid vitamins in the juice of a frozen foods like bloodworms. Then I soak nori in it and feed to the fish on the morning feeding, when they are the hungriest. I’m not totally sold on the need for vitamins when I know that I feed them a mix of the best available foods.

My clown don't care, but my keyhole angel wont touch food with selcon added, add the same food without selcon it eats no problem.
