Help switching my wrasse from frozen to flake

[MajorKook]

Hello,
I have a mystery wrasse that's been in QT for 2 months now. He's fat and healthy and eats frozen brine. I'd like to switch him over to flake food. Is this possible and if so, what's the best way to do it. So far, he takes no interest in it. Thanks.

you could try soaking it in garlic to make it more appealing or putting him in with your other fish so that he can see them eating flakes and follow suit. Why do you want to feed flake?

Either way, you should switch from brine shrimp to mysis. It's much better nutritionally for the fish.

Or selcon

All of the above are very good suggestions. Adding him into your D/T with the other fish will help him learn from others that flake is also good eating.
You shouldn't have any trouble doing this.

Most wrasses are greedy feeders. Like Bradleyj said, put it in with some other fish that eat flake food and I bet he will figure it out quickly.

Add some flake to your thawing food. It will soak up the flavor he is used to.
+1 to the mysis suggestion. Also try small nsl pellets
