See my method I posted in response to LOINFISH FOOD PROBLEM on 12/03. It sounds like you'll need to start with live food. If you absolutely can't find live saltwater food use guppies, they're a little better than goldfish. You want to wean them onto frozen silversides or squid ASAP, as feeding only guppies can lead to fatty liver disease, malnutrition and overall poor health. Also I've heard mixed results on frozen krill. Apparently they are boiled (hence the pink coloration) and therefor have little nutritional value. Apparently fish can also get addicted to krill and wont accept anything else. I've also heard that a diet of exclucively krill can lead to blindness. Best of luck, and be patient.
