    He's picking so that's good. Once he runs out of what he seems to like then he should start taking interest in other things to try. Stay patient. Beautiful fish

    I've had one for a couple of years. Started feeding him blood worms at first. Took him at least a week before he started on the aiptasia which the tank at the time was full of. Haven't seen an aiptasia since. Great fish!

    Thanks. I'm glad he started to eat.
    Hopefully he takes the aiptasia next.

    My file fish took about a week to eat anything and then 2 weeks later he ate 1 aptasia and now he can't get enough. 125 gallon tank with hundred plus aptasia all gone in a couple weeks.
