    What do you feed your Oscelaris clows ?
    I have two now and they seem like they want to eat but dont.

    I have tried, Mysis, Brine, Veggie Flake, Brine Flake, Zoo PLankton, Seaweed, and Cyclops.


    Any ideas ?

    Cheers

    Ive had a few feeding issues with mine... My advice would be a variety of foods and something to boost there appetite.
    I cant recommend anything because they will eat what they want... I had two with completely different tastes! soo i gave them a variety.

    Thats odd. Are they wild caught? If so you may need to ween them off of live food onto frozen food. Mine eat Cyclops, Mysis, Brine, Flakes, Formula 2, and just about anything else I put in the tank. They are carnivorous for the most part so you may want to keep trying things like mysis, brine, and cyclops. Try adding something to attract them like garlic or selcon.
