    He is not interested in any frozen or pellet food, but constantly pecks at the rocks and sand.

    The LFS told me to put Graciliaria in the tank, he and my foxface love it the lfs called it tang candy. Is this alright for it to primarily eat this?

    if not can you suggest something else? I have formula 1 and 2 frozen and formula 2 flakes and new life spectrum pellets. I did just run out of mysis a week or so ago and have not had a chance to get to the store to get it

    They eat algae, which means him eating off the rocks and the gracilaria is totally normal. They're wild fish though, they may not eat pellets.

    Should I be soaking the gracilaria in garlic?
