#1 flake food

[Ryand63]

So i'm desperatly trying to wean my lyertail anthias that I have in QT at the moment on to flake. He is eating brine/mysis but can't get him to try flake or pellet or even marine cuisine. Just looking for opinions for MOST WIDELY accepted flake in all your experiences. Thanks!

New Life Spectrumax Finicky Fish Formula, here, might work.

I use any flake food that contains garlic. You could always do what you do with a dog and continue to use the flake food until the fish decides that it is hungry enough to give it a try. I don't know if that works in the fish hobby but I'm sure if you offered it for 2-4 days without the mysis it might sample it.

I prefer to use the pellets though as the flake food doesn't reach the bottom for my other fish and inverts.

why would you want garlic in it?

OSI with Garlic flakes

because it's more enticing to the fish and some would say garlic helps their immune system

I use Omega One Marine flakes with garlic for the flake part of their diet. All the fish you see in my sig love it, so do the CUC. Even the trigger in the predator tank eats it!

I use the omega one with garlic. All fish love it except the yellow tang. He wants nothing to do with it

That's what I'm using too. All my fish love it except this darn anthias!

Not dumb …but I don't. I have a small brush that I use to put garlic on the nori for my fish.
