Shy and starving blueface angel
I received a medium sized adult blueface angel from LA about 12 days ago. He's been in a 20 gal QT with some PVC since that time. He hides in the PVC all day long and will not come out or eat mysis, brine, spirulina flakes, chaeto, or nori.
Any ideas? Thanks. |

try some live brine or try soaking the food in a garlic mix. That may work.

I'll certainly try the garlic. Unfortunately, there is nowhere around here to get live brine.

Some people add b-12 to the water to stimulate their apetite. Not sure about the dosing amounts though.
