    hi everyone,
    i am new and just registered yesterday . I've got a question about my fish.
    if anyone could answer it, that would be great.
    I give my fish regular fish food every day. there are two of them.
    one of them gobbles up the food as soon as I put it in the tank. The other one stares at the food and then swims away from it. The same thing has happened for 2 weeks. Anyone know why he's not eating??:confused:

    waiting for reply,:thinking2

    Hi Ilovefish

    what species of fish are they?
    how old is the tank - how long has it been set up?

    do you do any water testing , if so can you tell us what you test and what the results are

    what is normal fish food. When I feed my fish I have to alternate between 5 to 6 diffrent kinds. Maybe you need to try somthing new to get the finiky eat to eat. you could try to soak in garlic

    We need more info. What type of fish? How long have you had each fish? What are you trying to feed him? Some fish eat veggies and some eat meat and some only eat certain foods. A mandarin goby will eat copapods and shy away from most anything else. When you buy a fish you should do some research before buying. There is plenty of info on the web so you do it right. Good luck!
