fish not eating mysis

[chris stevens]

switched from brine/flake to mysis today for nutritional value, but my fish won't have it (pink skunks and chromis)...any idea why? just them getting used to it? added a garlic supplement and a little bit of liquid plankton hoping to sweeten it up, still no go.

Are they to large? Maybe chopping it up would help.

Yes as Fluff said they might be to big. Mysis have a harder texture than the brine. Usually the garlic works. Try smashing them out a little. Dont feed your fish for a couple of days then throw some mysis in, if they're hungry they will eat. HTH

You can also try adding a garlic additive like Kent's Garlic Extreme. It may stimulate the apatite a bit.
