Proper Mixture - Garlic Extract / Mysis Shrimp

[jbjints]

My two Black Clowns which were added Sunday haven't been eating at all other than the few pellets they munched on last night. I have been told to add some garlic extract to mysis shrimp and this should help.

I added less than half a cube of mysis shrimp last night without the garlic extract and they spit it out. I am going to mix half a cube of mysis shrimp with garlic extract tonight but I am not sure how much extract I should use for half a cube of mysis shrimp. What is the proper amount of garlic extract to use for half a cube of mysis? I'd appreciate any help and any other recommendations on what I could do to get my fish to eat. I am concerned that they may starve to death =(.

Thank you,

Joe

2 drops is plenty.

I went to two supermarkets and neither one had the garlic extract. Is this something I should find in a supermarket or should I go to a vitamin store?

Thank you for the help.

I have seen garlic supplements at GNC but I dont use it anymore.
Are you feeding anything else?
I found cyclopeez and nutrimar ova is eaten by everything.

I have tried flakes, pellets, and the mysis shrimp. I just want them to eat so I'd be willing to try anything at this point.

If you want to try some Cyclopeez or Nutrimar Ova to see if it will trigger the feeding response I will donate some.

I can meet you tomorrow evening.

If the clowns are t/r from Sustainable Aquatics they need to be feed the S/A Hatchery diet food. They are the pellets they were raised on. In a week or 2 they start taking other foods

Yes they are and I bought the pellets over the weekend. They finally took to the pellets tonight but they did not chase after pellets that floated away, they pretty much stuck to their corner and what was in front of them they ate. I am going to turn one of the Tunze's off during feeding time to make sure they get what they need. So in a few weeks I can try the mysis shrimp?

Thank you so much for the help.

Thanks a ton for offering the Cyclopees and Nutrimar, I truly do appreciate it. I am going to do as AV recommends and feed them the pellets as long as they keep eating them. I was semi satisfied with how much they ate tonight but they did not chase after any pellets that floated away. I am going to try the mysis in a few weeks and see what happens. Thanks again.
