Flame Hawkfish Only Eats Frozen Food

[Iamdasauce]

Good Morning,

 

I am wondering if anyone on this forum has had a Flame Hawkfish that originally started only eating frozen and they converted it to eating pellets and or flakes? 

 

Currently, the only thing the Flame Hawkfish I have had for a bit over a week will eat is frozen mysis. It completely ignores the pellets my clownfish eat.

 

Any advice on moving her toward pellets/flakes would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Mix small sinking pellets (1-2mm generally) in with the thawed mysis and let them sit in the juice for a bit and feed the mysis/pellet mixture. Slowly reduce how long the pellets are sitting in the juice over a few weeks while cutting back on the mysis serving size.

 

That method has always worked for me! No idea for the flakes since I never feed flakes on account of them getting sucked down into the sump.

I appreciate the feedback. I can report that my Flame Hawkfish is now eating pellets!
