Default Changing your Fish's Diet

I'm wanting to change the diet my fish are on to pellets that are for both herbivore's and carnivore's. I've been feeding them Brine Shrimp. Are there any kind of tips to helping me get them to change what they are accustomed to eating?

Fish should be fead a variation of food.4 or 5 types from flake to frozen. Also feeding less amounts more often helps.
Its hard to match the diet they received from the reef they were caught from so mixing there diet means better chance all get what they need.

I feed my guys a combination diet always. I think it works great. I give them Nutrfin Max marine flakes every other day and the rest of the time I feed them a combination of frozen yummies. It normally consists of a mixture of P.E. Mysis shrimp,Spirulina brine shrimp,blood worms and cyclopeeze. They ALL eat the flake, some days the hippo eats blood worms some days he eats the mysis and my clowns love the cyclopseeze. All in all I think their nutrition requirements are met. I haven't tried feeding them Krill yet but I'm intrested in trying it. Hope this helps. Mike.
