What does your Potter's eat?

There's much talk about Potter's angels on the boards and a few people who seem to have had some luck with them. Whether you've had and lost one, got one at the moment or ideally, have had one for years, it'd be really useful to know what foods you've had success with both when getting them established and after. Least we can do is try and learn something from our losses and try and limit the number of very purdy little fishies snuffing it in our front rooms.

Me personally, I've had one and lost one. Took about 3 weeks to pursuade him to take any prepared foods, would nibble at rock and nori and also pygmy angel formula. After a couple of months, looked to be losing a bit of weight and colour and ultimately ended up in a Seio.

Have been looking on t'internet for some info. on endemic Hawaiian macroalgae species that they'd graze on in the wild and there is some good info. but really poor info. on the ingredients of prepared seaweed flakes and nori mix.

Anyway, anyone else?
