Start them with Nutramar Ova in QT and keep feeding them this for a couple of weeks. After a couple of weeks increase with a small mix of mysis, small pellets until you see them take the other items. Only then put them into the DT. I started with 5 and am down to two. The two I have now eat mysis, flake, ON Form 2 ... Not acceptable losses, IMO, but I could not get the other two out of the DT before they were too weak.

Nonimmigrant, they started eating frozen cyclop-eeze mixed with mysis on the second day. They came to me so skinny so I feed them 6-8 times a day. We are on day 7. Now when they see me they go to the spot where I dispense the food. Makes me so happy. I tried prawn eggs but they did not like them. I am glad to here it is possible to have them eat pellets or flakes. We go out of town every weekend and I have an auto-feeder for other thanks. I am going to keep them in a QT as long as they are ready to move to DT.
They are so beautiful and I got them by a mistake. I can tell you I would not get any fish that has problems with eating in the future. It is stressful. I want to enjoy my fish and not to be scared to find it dead next day.
Thank you for sharing.
