What brand flakes and pellets do your fish prefer?

[pammy]

I have Formula 1 flakes and Formula 2 pellets, and my fish (tail spot blenny and Pygmy possum wrasse) don't seem to want anything to do with either one (soaked in garlic extrme and tank water). My purple firefish is a little piggie, and will eat the flakes if that's all he has available. At first he was spitting them out, but now he'll settle for them. They all go nuts over enriched brine shrimp but I know it's not healthy to feed them one thing only all the time and I know brine shrimp aren't supposed to be the most nutritious. I also tried frozen blood worms which I didn't see any of them go for.

Have you found that your fish prefer one brand of pellets or flakes over another brand? Any of your fish turn up their noses at the Formula 1 / 2 flakes and pellets but love another brand? Any other dry food that they like? I'd like to feed every other day frozen, and every other day dry.

One last question....Are frozen mysis too large for the fish that I have? The possum is pretty small right now .... maybe 1" long.

Thanks, Pam

My fish all eat Formula 1. They also eat Red Sea Grow RedSeaFish You could take a sharp knife and shave the mysis if you are afraid it is too big.

Good idea on the mysis Carmie. I was thinking of at least chopping it up some. Thanks. Pam

mine will take Formula 1,2 and prime reef flake no problem.

They wouldnt touch a new all singing and dancing "new era" food that has been heavily marketed over here in the UK just lately. every LFS seems to be singing it's praises which makes me wonder if is due to the miracle food itself or the massive discounts they give them? However, others have said their fish go mad for it. I guess fish are like people, they all have different tastes.
