Clown fish won't eat flakes

[moog24]

Hello everyone, I got 2 clown fish on Wednesday and I tried to feed them on Thursday with flakes but they just spit them out right away. Tried again this morning and same thing. What can I do to get them to eat flakes?

Why do they have to be flakes?

 

[moog24]

Because I live 180 miles from anywhere that sells frozen food.

Can try to put a drop of Garlic Power and let the flakes soak, that could get them enticed a bit.

You can also look in the PE Mysis pellets, and the same technique with the Garlic Power if they don’t like those. Pellets in general may be a bigger hit than the flakes. Look up ChromoBoost, or New Life Spectrum.

Good luck with it

Also plenty of DIY frozen food methods on YouTube if you have a blender and a grocery store close!

As Waxon said make your own fish food. A lot of people do this
