My Leopard Wrasse stopped eating Mysis shrimp , he only eats brine shrimp now. I am worried because the brine shrimp dose not have enough nutrition to keep him healthy !

What do you feed your Leopard usually ?

soak your brine shrimp in selcon, or get the enriched brine shrimp until they pick up interest in mysis again.

+1.....if your going to feed brine, it's best to soak it in some kind of a vitamin/amino supplement......brine shrimp is like candy.....it's not really good for them, but all fish love it.........you could also try soaking the mysis in garlic....the garlic acts as an appetite stimulant..... it's somewhat odd that it stopped eating the mysis.....is it in with any aggressive fish?....how long have you had it?

No I don't have any aggressive fish there, I have him only for 3 weeks.
Actually he was eating Mysis till the pack finished and I bought another one
This one is smaller pack but bigger shrimps. Everyone else like this one better specially my Seahorses but not him.

Any suggestion on vitamin brand ?

Selcon will do just fine.

I feed mine 2 types of mysis, blood worms, chopped clams, and seaweed. I soak them in reef plus and garlic.

My potters wrasse pretty much only takes pellets but he'll eat capelin roe when I add them for the anthias. Try fish roe. Most of my fish go bananas for them and they're better than brine.
