Will these guys eat anything other than live foods?
thanks
 
Well,

Monocirrhus polyacanthus usually eat only live food, but if you train them they EVENTUALLY get non-living meaty foods, like dead shrimps. BTW, you should try it VERY HARD, and you'll most probably get frustrated and the fish HUNGRY. Most SA leaffishes won't accept non-living, though, be warned.
Polycentrus schomburgkii ("false" leaffishes), though, eat ANYTHING, even pellets and flakes.

Best regards.

Daniel.
