Golden Angelfish

meanpressure · 02/05/2012, 02:13 PM

Hi

I Have a Golden angelfish that for the last two months has been eating everything i feed him, spirulina, mysis, a paste that i make up with about 9 different foods including an angelfish diet. He usually goes after the food like he hasnt eaten in days, I feed him twice a day. Yesterday he stopped eating what i feed him. He is eating off of the live rock now. The only thing different since yesterday is that i added a small firefish in the tank with him. I dont think that would stop him from eating since he lives with a pair of clowns and was eating no problem with them. I am open for all suggestions.

Thanks for your help.

Give him some time to adjust to the new tank mate. A new tank mate can throw things a little "off balance" for a few days.
