Picky Eaters

ShaneWedge · May 2, 2021

I have 2, black ice clown fish. They seem to only want to eat fresh foods, such as, LRS's Reef Frenzy. I got some small pellets that I use to feed my ocellars clownfish. These guys won't touch it . Anyone else have or had this issue? Any recommendations on flake or pellet?

Mix the pellet and flake with the frozen foods to get them to learn to eat it... just an idea.

Shoot, Can't blame them. I'd take a piece of steak over a hard granola cluster or piece of lettuce any day, lol.

Same here. It just makes things a bit harder. I have to feed more to the tank. Starting getting the purple/red slime algae about a month after getting these two. I'm sure it's due to the amounts of nutrients I'm having to add to the tank.
