    Success !

    I finally got it to eat. I sought of left it alone for a while in my quarintine (well actually I forgot about it) and just made daily checkups on the condition of the fish. I had tried everything with this fish from a range of foods to adding things like garlic and vitamins to its food. Anyhoo i decided to try and put some food (bit of prawn) on a feeding stick and wiggle it around its mouth. I was litterally spoon feeding it. It has only just started accepting these bits of food but with some luck it may feed off frozen food.

    Its looks like it only accepts live foods given its eating habits. Who would of thought especially from a wrasse and espicially cause it was only fed frozen food in the shop i bought it from.

    But yeah there you go. With a little persistance and creativity you can get just about any fish to eat.

    Feeding

    Sometimes thats what it takes 89, I have a large pink tailed trigger that I've had for 3 years. One day it just stopped eating and I was frantic. I ended up feeding with a feeding stick and he gobbled it up, it's the only way the fish will eat now, its a pain in the arse but what can you do!! :confused:
