Picky Clowns

[paphater]

Any tips on getting a pair of picky clowns to eat? They seem to have an interest in formula two pellets but the pellets sink too fast and the clowns never really pursue them once they fall past the mid level of the tank. I just bought some LRS fish frenzy (which my copperband went nuts for) and again they never really pursued once it sank. Any food clowns go crazy for?

PE Mysis is a big hit with most fish, give it a shot. Most foods can be soaked in garlic xtreme or selcon to increase the desirability of it.

I feed Marine S by Hikari which has a pretty high protein content and garlic; here's the sales pitch, "This proprietary pellet sinks slowly while rapidly becoming sponge-like and replicating the texture of a live reef environment." Not sure what that means, but my clowns really like it, they catch it on the way down and it is the right diameter for them.
