I have 2 Clown fish and am new to the hobby. The LFS sold me a" New Life SPECTRUM All Purpose Formula" krill & Fish

However the two "percs" dont seem to like it much. they'll eat a couple of pellets and start spitting them out.

Any suggestions?

THANKS......

Get them some frozen brine shrimp, small silver sides, maybe get some fresh shrimp, cut up into tiny pieces. Get them something that resembles their real food.

I feed Mysis shrimp. All my fish (even my Lawnmower Blenny) love it.
BTW: I was told that Brine shrimp are the "popcorn food" of the fish world. Meaning: fish eat them, but they have no nutritional value.

Monsport,
Go to your local food store and buy one piece of uncooked shrimp, and one scallop. Take them home, and cut them up into 1/2 inch pieces and put them in an ice cube tray. freeze em. Take a cube out and thaw it, when you want to feed. Cut up only what you want and put the rest of the thawed piece in a tupperware container of water and feed them with it the rest of the week. Mix the pieces up with Mysis shrimp. I just bought my seafood for them today. Price......$.89 ( not counting the Mysis shrimp.)
