New fish...a little problem

Wow, that's very creative! Good job!! Too bad you lost him in the end. Maybe you could try something similar with the naso.

 

might just do that to keep him alive if he wont eat after a few more days. A week is max I could stand watching fish not eating. I've lost another naso once because he wont eat and don't want to see that happen again.

1st naso-inherited from previous owner when I started SW. No idea how to took care of it and died
2nd naso-Accidently dropped a bottle of iodine. (it was on the trim)
3rd naso-blone naso won't eat
4th naso-blone naso he ate, had streamers, and was the perfect one, but got ich from another fish
5th naso-the one I have right now.

I'm just not suppose to have a naso I guess:-/. Had better luck with supposedly harder fish

 

it happens. Ive personally have had 3 since ive had saltwater tanks. the liveghost shrimp should get them at least eating. my fish go crazy over them. just dont put too many in the reef, as they wont live more than 24-48hrs if not eaten.

 

Should try, but I need to put a note to remind me not to put too much while mixing the food. Made me go controlling nitrates after a week.

 

will keep that in mind. Should I buy a ton of them and keep them in FW or should I only buy enough for one feeding only?

 

if you can i would buy a ton and keep them in a small FW tank. that way when you need them you can get them. just dont buy over 30

 

Alright. I'll set up that little 5g.

btw, is there a diffrence on whether I feed him live brine or ghost shrimp?

 

bump......he did ate a little bit caulerpa

 

I had a powder brown once that was difficult to get eating. I took grape caulerpa and rubber banded it to a piece of rubble rock. Then dropped it in the tank and he would graze on that. Fed the rest of the fish like normal and after about a week or so, he seemed to figure out what feeding time was. Never had a problem with him eating anything after that.

 

Its been about what??? a month or so since I got him. Still no luck. Saw him bit on a nori, but immediately spat it out the second he took a bite out of it. He only grazes on algae. Mostly caulerpa, but I cant have him eat only caulerpa. He'll lack the protein he needs and plus My overgrown refugim is thinning out :-/
