green clown goby, percula clown (feeding) (1 Viewer)

[juicestain]

today i purchased a green clown goby and 2 percula clown fish. i tried to feed them mysis, marine s, kent's zooplex, and brine shrimp; in that order. the two clown fish took the brine shrimp which was what they were being fed at the store i bought them from (fish land). i believe the percula clown were wild caught. the green clown goby was purchased from city pets.

now my question is how would i get them to take a variety of foods?, what can my green clown goby eat? and was it too early to try to feed them?

The clowns will take to eating in a few days. Try to get them off brine shrimp it's a hassle and not very nutritious (even when enriched).

I'm not sure about the diet of the green clown goby. LiveAquaria suggests that they will eat mysis shrimp and other frozen preparations.

In my experience if you start with a fish that eats everything, you can add picky eaters later, they will get used to having multiple foods in front of there face and if they dont eat it, the other fish will. eventually they will get the idea and start eating it. I know this cause i bought a very small scooter blenny that would just eat pods, then i got him an brine shrimp, now he will eat any scraps he can find.
