wjrg Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Was he eating when you first got him and has stopped or never eaten from day one? This fish was eating brine shrimp in the store, but never in my tank, no fish is messing with him and he acts normal, looking in the rocks and all taht but never eating.

GKarshens Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I would try live brine mixed in with the food you are feeding each day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjrg Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 I would try live brine mixed in with the food you are feeding each day. Here in Puerto Rico is not easy to find live food but I will do my best to find it. Thankyou for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKarshens Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Wow! You are in PR? How did you find us? Hope that works. You might also try soaking the food in Selcon or some other food additive to make fish interested in food. I have also heard mushed up banana will work.

I always read articles from every body in the internet, I learnd wath I know by reading this articles and a local store (Miguel Valle). This man knows this buisnes and a consider him my mentor. but not always he can solve our problems because of de delivery issue. for example live brine shrimp. did you realy said banana.

GKarshens Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Yep banana. I tried it once because I had a Moorish Idol and I heard they needed more potassium. He ignored it but my other fish loved it. Just make sure to mash it up into bite size pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
