Clownfish Diet

[yort265]

I have 2 ocellaris clownfish and they eat new life pellets very well. I was wanting to vary their diet up a bit but I can't get them interested in much other than the pellets.. I tried adding a couple of drops to Kent's garlic extreme to a thawed out cube of brine shrimp and they ate some, but didn't go crazy over it. I put a few pellets in there and they went straight for them. will they be ok on a strictly NL pellet diet?

They will be fine on the pellets, they are very healthy for the fish.
Not sure of the size of your clowns, but if they are big enough to eat it, I would try mysis shrimp over brine, brine shrimp is not very nutritious

I always try to mix things up and vary the diet for all my fish. My clowns love mysis and the finely chopped frozen seafood mix I feed - shrimp, scallops, squid, clam, etc. But NLS pellets are still their staple.

I would continue to try to introduce various frozen foods to their diet, but I wouldn't worry so much if they prefer the pellets.
