Need help with blue/green chromis feeding

[Leaellynasaura]

I purchased 5 about 4 weeks ago and they will only eat brine shrimp. I tried tetra min flakes and now formula one flakes and they just mouth or ignore it and wait for brine shrimp. Is there enough nutrition in frozen brine shrimp for them to be healthy?

Brine shrimp on it's own isn't all that nutritious. However, there is enriched brine shrimp available, either spirulina or HUFA. Also, try mysis shrimp, it is more nutritious.

Pellets might work too, I have fish that wont touch flakes but love pellets, spectrum marine pellets are pretty nutritious.

My chromis will eat spectrum pellets but they enjoy ocean nutrition flakes and raw shrimp from grocery

I would purchase a vitamin enriched frozen brine for now and offer some frozen mysis during feeding time until they accept it

Mine were the same way until I tried frozen blood worms. They love it

My chromis eats brine, small bits of mysis, fish eggs, reef frenzy, and live blackworms. He tastes PE mysis pellets and NLS, spits them out, and the clowns clean up after him.

LRS fish frenzy for the win. All my fish eat it and love it.

My chromis eat new life spectrum micro pellets. Been on that 2+ years. Happy and healthy. They are fed the tip of the spoon 3 times a day. 10 chromis.

I try to simulate pods/zooplankton drifing by.

Mine eat anything I put in the tank.

I have the same problem LOL mine arent picky at all. I do variety. Frozen, dry, chop up seafood, pretty much anything

 

[MagisterDamask]

I started mine on the hatchery diet, but they'll eat anything I put in the tank.
