I recently purchased two Percula Clownfish. I have been having trouble geting them to eat. I tried feeding them frozen mysis and brine shimp, but they barely ate any. Then I read that they might like more green food so I tried lettuce. They never touched that. Next I tried Ocean Nuturition Formula One Marine Pellets. One of them ate a few, but the other still only nibbled. Finally I tried two types of Ocean Nuturition flakes. Formula Two (for more herbivorus fish) and Prime Reef. The clowns still barely ate anything and I am worried that they will starve. Can anyone suggest a good food to give them? Thanks in advance!

First thing I would try is live brine shrimp ... (pre soak them in freshwater for 10 min. first before feeding them to your fish). Second feed them Formula One frozen food (the red gel stuff), chop it up into bite size chucks. My clowns love this food. It was designed for clownfish daily diet.

I would say that if I wanted to make sure some of my fish to eat, I would add some Garlic Guard to the food mix since even the pickiest eaters can't resist the taste/smell of garlic.

Good one Tom ... Garlic extreme is another one that comes to mind.

I use Garlic guard and never have heard of Garlic extreme. So that's why I suggested it.
