(edit - bah! it's anthias* not antias! I wish I could change the title...)
Hello folks!
I've had a trio of Evansi Anthias for a little over a month, and I'm concerned that they'd decided they don't like freeze dried Cyclops anymore... at least - they don't eat it as much as they used to.
I've ordered a canister of New Life Spectrum pellets, since they're supposed to be super wonderful - but my anthias won't even give them a second glance.
The thing that they /really love/ is Rod's Reef food - even more than PE Mysis.
I've mixed some pellets into the auto feeder that feeds them cyclops while I'm at work - but I'm concerned that it'll all go to waste if they're not eating them yet. I figured maybe having them in the water more often would make the pellets more pallatable.. who knows.
How would you go about convincing Anthias that they want to eat pellets?
I'm not convinced they're getting enough to eat, now that they've turned up their noses at freeze dried cyclops =\.
