Firefish and other fish not eating what food should I give them?

[HookedOnFishh]

Hello, I have
1 Bicolor Blenny
2 clowns
And 1 Firefish
I just introduced the firefish a day ago I have some frozen cyclops to the tank and what would happen the firefish would intake it and then spit it out. Since I'm a n00b I don't know what else to feed the firefish. Is Mysis just as good as Cyclops?

My firefish eats frozen brine and mysis. Maybe give that a try.

Ya... Maybe it's because I introduced him yesterday, otherwise I was just at the store thing Cyclops it Mysis lol another trip. Unless he eats.

My firefish eats mysis shrimp and marine flake. He isn't that picky.

Edit: maybe being new to the tank is a factor. I typically don't expect fish to eat the first day in a new tank.

he could but it could be it don't appeal to him some fish can be finicky eaters
I have some fish that wont eat any frozen just flakes or mini pellets ,
just like some of my other fish if it don't move they wont eat it ,
every fish has it's own preference on foods just like me I like burgers but really don't flip over steak ,
