Hi 1000,
By variety do you mean prepared foods or acropora corals? I have three different acros in the tank with them at the moment. I have access to many more from my larger tank, but my plan is to train them onto prepared foods asap. I have read everything Matt Pedersen has posted on the net about his experiences with the group he has raised. I am trying some of the methods he used to transition his files to frozen, then to just about anything he put in the tank.
Do you have a lot of experience with these fish? I would love to hear more about them if you have. How large is your tank and what other fish are you keeping with them? My thoughts are that a smaller tank with slow feeders, and less acropora might have an easier time getting them to try other foods. Do you have any photos of yours?
Thanks,
Ellen
