    Keep trying Angel formula frozen as well as formula 1 & 2 as the first feeding of the day when the M.Idol is hungry and eventually it should start eating it.
    You might even have to let it go without eating for 1 day to get it to switch to other foods. The M.Idol wont be able to survive on mysis and brine shrimp.
    I cut my frozen cubes into small pieces and soaked it in garlic and Entice food enhancer to get mine to eat.

    instead of being all up tight with the idol i decided not to give her any brine or mysis, i tryed a frozen prep for angels and she picked out the meat in it, so i gave her the carnivour one and she piged out on it,
    Today i didn't feed her any of that and left a half muscle on the bottom, she didn't touch it but as i was feeding the eels some shrimp she ate a big peice of that. looks like things are moving in a good direction. thanks for your advice, otherwise i would have kept on feeding her the mysis while trying to give her something else.
