clownfish feeding issues

[jase]

Hey guys
3 days ago i picked up 2 Ocellaris Clownfish one small and one larger, they look quite healthy with good colouring. My problem is i can't get them to eat the food i give them as i've tryed mysis and brime shrimp also with garlic to try to entice them

Now my question is i had a rather long cycle and my pod population is massive and watching the clownfish they are eating all the pods they can find. Could they be filling them selves up on the pods thus not wanting to eat food i provide??

Yup....Pods are better for them anyway, it will balance out eventually.

Ok thanks, I kind of thought that was the case

+1 Ted....they'll go through them rather quickly, though, so keep an eye open when they seem to stop picking out the pods. Then try the mysis again.
