dragonxflare Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I recently picked up some baby Picasso clowns, about 1-1.5 inches (Roughly 5 months old), and boy are they picky eaters! Some reason, they only eat Cyclopeeze at the moment. The breeder I purchased them from was feeding them tdo chroma boost, but I am finding it difficult on purchasing this locally, or even on their site. I went ahead and purchased .5 mm Pellets Dry Hatchery Diet from BRS, and hopefully get them to eat this as well. Any thoughts? Should I start dosing garlic? Maybe their mouths are too small, and cant eat anything bigger at the moment? Link to comment
fishfreak0114 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 You could try soaking their food in garlic, I didn't have much luck with it but you may. You could try some frozen bloodworms, my clowns love them. Link to comment

Mr. Microscope Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 If they eat cyclope-eze, just mix in the pellets with the it and eventually they'll make the transition. Link to comment
dragonxflare Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 Thanks, I ordered some garlic, and started to mix crushed up pellets with cyclope-eze. Lets hope they eat that Link to comment
outerorbiter Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 My past and current were picky for about a week. Then they will eat anything that fits in their mouth. But they will still pick at bigger stuff even my hand Link to comment

I think he might be too small to eat pellets, so imma start to crush them with the cyclope-eze and hope for the best. Link to comment

Why not flakes? When I get new fish I feed them flakes with a bit of Garlic in them and Mysis with some garlic Link to comment
dragonxflare Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Why not flakes? When I get new fish I feed them flakes with a bit of Garlic in them and Mysis with some garlic I can def. try this I believe Cyclope-eze makes a flake food as well, so that would work. What flakes do you use? Spectrum? Cyclope? Link to comment

I buy Spirulina flakes in bulk 7b bags. Dunno what brand, they're from the local aquaculture facility. (Large 7lbs bags since I also ONLY feed my cichlids this) Link to comment
12_egg_Omelette Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Man just keep feeding them cyclopeeze that stuff is great and a frozen tray will last us with bank tanks forever. Maybe throw some live brine shrimp in there. I bought some frozen food made from scratch from a local lady and I have never seen a more positive feeding response ever. I can give you her contact info if you want. It's pretty cheap too. Link to comment
