Fish not eating

[Odysi]

Hey guys so about 2 weeks ago i picked up a blue eye anthias that will not eat anything except mysis. I have tried feeding it Pellets, Brine, Blood Worms, LRS and Formula II. I have tried soaking the food with garlic but all it will do i taste then spit it out unless it mysis. Just wondering if there is something else i can try?

Good luck, It took my anthias a good year or 2 just to eat pellets, and they were picky as to what pellets they would eat.

I would try soaking the pellets until they're soggy. that might entice them, but I would just keep feeding them mysis for at least a good 6 months while they get acclimated to the environment.

a lot of fish like mysis but i know they take along time to get used to eating in a new tank.

stick with simple fish...Dont understand why ppl want a fish that is hard to care for when comparable fish of less price eat theit own poo for fun...you wouldnt want to have a child that was harder to keep than your others would you so why do it with fish
