2 false percs - need feeding ideas for 1

[AlBunch]

Got two false percs about a week ago, one of them eats just about anything I throw in the tank, the other one mouths everything, but either she's picky or she's sick. She swims ffine, doesn' t just linger in one part of the tank, is active, etc - just a picky eater. Any ideas as to what to try?

So far, I've tried the vitamin soaked brine shrimp - neither of them care for that, tetramarine flakes, tetramarine granules, new life spectrum discus granules (other fish like these)....really the only thing that everyone pretty much turns their nose up at is the vitamin soaked brine shrimp.

so......??

I use New life spectrum 1mm pellets.
I cut the pellets in half with a razor blade and sprinkle them on top of the water so they float. Before I started cutting the pellets, they wouldn't touch them.
I also turn off the power heads and return pump when I feed, and always feed them in the same corner of the tank. Now when they see me come in the room, they swim to their feeding corner and wait for me

i use ocean nutrition, mysis shrimp, cyclopeeze and artic pods.

the only thing my clowns dont eagerly attack and eat is the formula two flake but they do eat it, but theyd rather have formula one or prime reef.

Mine eat formula 1 pellets. The little oscellaris I have is still to small to eat them and he will try, but he often can't manage. Hopefully in a few weeks. Until then, I just feed the tank a small amount of cyclopeeze and the little guys eat it.

Thanks!

Finally got the second one to eat Mysis and Cyclops - both of them enjoy it, so I'll feed that and mix in a tiny amount of formula 2 (gotta go get some formula 1) until they start eating that regularly too.
