fawkes027 Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 How long have you had him? How's his breathing? Does he look pale? Does he look like he has salt on him? Does he look like he has cob webs on him? Link to comment
Small Reefer Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Had him for a few days. Breathing fine. Not pale. No salt on him. No webs on him. Just doesn't seem interested in the food. Well he is interested he comes up to nibble on it than spits it all out. I got him to eat a few tiny brine shrimp FD but that's about it. Link to comment
fawkes027 Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 Hm..I'm not sure. Is he doing any better today? Link to comment
AchillesHeel Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 My clown kind of did that too how big are the pellets you are trying to feed him, for mine to not spit them out i had to cut the pellts into 2 - 3 pieces, kind of a pain in the ass but he ate it so... Link to comment
Small Reefer Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 He's getting better eating small bits of brine shrimp. The guy is finicky he won't eat more than a few nibbles and if it's only when he's really starving or else he'll spit it out. thanks, I'll continue to watch him. Link to comment
birdman204 Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 small reefer , i think Tongs has live brine, you could pick up a small bit, Ill bet hed love that. Also try Formula one, My gramma wouldn't eat pellets, mysis , flakes, now he pigs out on formula one. So much for me trying to diversify his diet P.S. I am local, wanna swap? got tiny zoo frag with about 6 polyps on it, and spme gsp we could trade.( that is as long as acoustic doesn"t need it , his house threatened by the fire). The zoos are tight, green skirt , blue middle, orange starburst centers. Very neat. Link to comment
birdman204 Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Well, maybe after the cycle, I just read your LR post keep it in mind though if you get some good stuff! Link to comment
SpYdeR468 Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Is he the only fish in the tank? Sometimes when there is no competition to eat, they arent as aggressive eaters and just let it float around and nibble on it, thinkin it will still be there later. I had a lunar wrasse in my larger tank that acted this way and when i added in a couple more fish, he began to eat normally again. Just another thought that could be possible..... Link to comment
Small Reefer Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Yeah definitely birdman just waiting to see what I can get. Spyder... hmm interesting I would wanna try it but my tank is so small I don't know if I should add more fish. I'll just have to wait him out a lil longer at least he hasn't gone kurplunk yet.
