    how long have you had them? how big are they? i would keep up with the brine, or maybe a bit of frozen.

    as per above how long have you had them etc..

    live brine isnt very nutritious but can provoke a feeding response so worth a try. were they eating when you got them? can you find out what your LFS or wherever you got them from was feeding them on?

    Keep them on frozen (remember to 'wash' it) and introduce them to flake in small quantities. My clowns now 'fly' out of thir nem and almost leave the water when flake goes in-but it did take them a while although i feed sinking pellets too and they did find these first. hth
