bi-color not wanting to eat.

[lpreston83]

I have a Bi-color that won't eat. I've tried live brine, fish food pellets, frozen shrimps and I can't see him go after anything. It's been a week now and he looks happy and not stressed out I just can't see him eating anything.

I've been told to try some dried kelp or to add live rock and let him graze off that. Any one have any ideas?

Are you talking about a bi-color blenny?
PS: i see it's your first post...Welcome to AA!

I would try some dried seaweed and see how that does. Maybe rubberband it it to some rock.

It is a bi-color Angel. Thanks for welcoming me.

How big is the fish and how bigs the tank?

 

[lpreston83]

Tank is a 25 gallon cube. Fish is about 2 inches.

Just find out correctly what he exactly need to eat.& then go ahead..

Of all the dwart angels these are the hardest to get to eat. I think he is eating any pods and other small life forms on your liverock. They are also the lease hardy.

Try feeding Clycopeeze, that is what we use at the Aquarium for fish that are not eating and for finicky fishes!

These guys can be extra finicky. Do you have any available live foods? If not some PE or Hikari Mysis shrimp soaked in Garlic Guard or Selcon will do the trick a lot of times.

sorry to hear that. You should not take that for granted. It could die soon.
