    Thanks! Yea- they are. I got them last night and had the guy feed them and they ate like crazy.

    My only concern is that I put some mysis in the tank this morning and they didn't really seem to eat. It could just be that they need some time to settle in though. I'll try again when I get home from work.

    They may take some time to come to mysis. They def eat the pellet. Just give them some time and they will come around to the mysis.

    Glad that you like them!

    Yea, I saw them eat a bunch while they were in your tank, but i've tried the pellets and have had no luck so far. This morning I added some to the tank and they swam toward it, but didn't actually decide to eat it.

    Any thoughts?

    Sometimes it takes a few days, if things are right, they'll eat soon enough.

    Good news- the clowns suddenly started eating mysis a few days ago.

    It was literally an overnight transformation- one night they wouldn't even look at the stuff, the next they darted right for it and started chowing down like it was the last food they would ever see.
