Trying to introduce food

[Slimkasey]

Hey gang, I have a question.

So Variety is the spice of life. I'm trying to introduce my marine fish to frozen bloodworms, I'm even cutting them up to very small bite size pieces and just a small amount (1/4 cube), even adding in vitamins to the food, which they like with the Mysis, and they just nibble at a piece or two, then nothing.

Current feed is 1 cube Mysis every other day, then a marine flake product every other day, I want to add bloodworms, but nothing.

Any ideas? Or any other food thoughts to spice it up. Nobody will touch Green Nori either.

Mine like Emerald entree as well. Its a blend of many things....

Have you tried feeding rod's food? It's already an awesome blend of all sorts of good things

 

[Slimkasey]

Can't get it up here. Tried a Instant Ocean - Marine Blend. Gel product with everything, and No Way, would they touch that crap.

I have yet to meet a fish that likes the gel stuff. Just get the regular frozen stuff. You could also make your own food too

 

[Slimkasey]

Would you explain make your own?

 

[little_fish]

Just buy raw seafood at your local grocery store, blend it up and freeze it

 

[Slimkasey]

Okay, like regular shrimp, cod?

Would clowns and a wrasse eat this?

 

[little_fish]

Yep. Just make sure it's raw and unseasoned. You can also add in some garlic and nori

 

[Bifferwine]

You can use raw clams, shrimp, oysters, mussels, etc to make your own food.

Thanks all. Really appreciate the advice, hopefully the fish do as well, other than that I'll enjoy the leftovers. ;-)
