Haraldi angel

Twostepper4041 · 12/16/2012, 08:28 PM

I just purchased one from my lfs. When I was at the store I had them feed her to make sure she was accepting food. They said she was there for about 4 weeks. They fed mysis, and I saw her eat a ton. For the past two days in my aquarium, she want accept any food. No flake, no mysis, no emerald entree. Should I be concerned? I see her nipping at live rock, but other than that no dice. When I feed, my 6 line, and chromis eat like crazy, and the angel swims through all the mysis but won't touch it, same with flakes. Help?

Try soaking food in a garlic additive.

Ask your lfs what mysis brand they feed the angel, sometimes the angel is a little picky on the brand, at least my angels do.

^ +1 on that, I have fish that won't touch PE mysis but will eat other brands.
