not eating

Just got a new snowflake eel 2 days ago and tried feeding it cut up fresh grouper fillet but it isn’t interested at all. Its a decent sized one over a foot long and thick as a thumb. I read they wont eat when new to a tank but the other 2 snowflakes i had before ate the same day i got them. Any...

I had a fish that had trouble swimming. When she passed it seem like my other fish got what she had. both of their symptoms are trouble keeping afloat and breathing fast. She is not eating much. I think it's a parasite that passed on when the other fish died. I don't know what i should do. Any...

Hello all! I currently have a citron goby (Gobiodon citrinus), two captive-bred neon gobies (Elactinus oceanops), and a molly miller blenny (Scartella cristata) in my 10-gallon quarantine system (which has not begun medication), which have been with me since 9/5/2022. I have been experiencing...

Hi! My blue hippo’s in my main tank now and hasn’t been eating a lot. He would eat 1 pellet and won’t bother eating again. He keeps swimming a lot too. Specifically swims on one side of the glass, idk if he sees his reflection and amazed by it or idk...

Hey all. Looking for some advise from some more experienced tang keepers. I recently purchased a juvenile clown tang probably 2.5”-3” long. I believe he is a wild caught specimen. He will not eat prepared foods. Frozen or pellet. He does continuously pick at the rocks for algae. He will not even...

Hi all, As a longtime lurker on this forum, this wasn't how I expected to finally make an account, but I'm hoping someone can help me. I've just about finished cycling my tank as of yesterday (0 ppm ammonia, .1 ppm Nitrite, 25 ppm Nitrate, 1.026 sg) and went to an LFS to pick up a fish to...

I collected this horned blenny here in playa about 1 week ago and **** it would be easy to feed , but he hasn't touched the sea veggies , pe mysis, or brine shrimp/live Any suggestions on what to try and feed him ? thanks

I have a yellow belly blue hippo tang in qt. And he is not eating and swimming and hiding constantly. He in qt with 4 other fish powder blue tang, Midas blenny, and 2 small clown fish. All the other fish are eating and healthy. These are all new fish and they are in qt and never been in my...

So the tang went through quarantine perfectly, was added to the DT about 2 weeks ago and has been doing perfectly until 2 days ago. Out of nowhere, she just stopped eating. Before, she was constantly grazing and feed normally during feeding twice a day. There's no spots, markings or any signs...

Hello, I have 2 clownfish. They have been together for about 5 months now. Over the last 4 days, both clowns haven't really eaten, which seems to stem from the female not wanting to eat and the male follows suit. Here's the back story. I have a 55 gallon mixed reef tank. It got ich, so I went...

As the tittle says, one of my clownfish won't eat after a transfered them from my 75g to my 175g. I've had both clownfish for about 2.5 years and the female clownfish is going on day two since I transfer her over to the bigger tank. The 2 clowsn are the only 2 fish I've transferred so far and...

My multi bar angel has been less active, mostly standing under rocks for about a week, stopped eating four days ago and as of today laying on its side with an arched back. It’s about 3” with noticeable male cheek spines and no residual eye spot so I believe a full adult. I’ve had it for 3 full...

Hey! I have a banded cat shark that hatched around three weeks ago. When she hatched she still had a bit of yolk so I wasn't concerned about her eating, but now her yolk has been dissolved for over two and a half weeks and she shows absolutely no interest in eating. Ive tried krill, silversides...

I recently purchased an ORA Snowstorm clown. It seemed to have an issue with its swim bladder upon arrival (not being able to stay buoyant) but after the first 24 hours that had gone away. Immediately upon introduction it paired with the ocellaris I had in my tank (the only fish at this point)...

Hello All - About a year ago I had to move out of my home and put my 90G in storage. In the meantime, I set up a holding tank for my yellow tang and corals. The yellow tang has never really been on the fat, heavy side but always ate anything I put in the tank. The tang is not large and has been...

Hello everyone. I am very new to this hobby and I am about to lose all of my fish. I currently have a 50 gallon tank with 4 fish (i had 5 yesterday but one sadly passed). I have been keeping up with water changes but I have been dealing with cyano for the past few weeks. On sunday, I did a...

Any one else have the issue where their Blenny will only eat frozen foods? I got this fish 4 months ago and I cannot get it to eat anything other that frozen. I go over a week at a time with only feed pellets in tank, and it will just not eat; hoping that it would get hungry and migrate over to...

Hey guys! I picked up 2 clownfish a couple days ago. One is eating fine, swimming in middle of tank etc. All is good. (Davinci clown) The other one, swimming by the overflow all day. Not Inerested in food after multiple feeding attempts. Seems to not be the strongest of swimmers in general...

I added a couple new wrasses to a tank with two established leopard wrasses. One of the two new wrasses is also a leopard wrasse. It is intimidated by the other fish and stays buried all day except a couple days where it emerged for less than five minutes. I managed to catch the interaction on...

Most of my friends in the hobby almost exclusively feed frozen food in their aquariums with some sprinkles of dry food/ nori strips here and there. What does everyone else do? If you don't feed frozen why not? Is anyone able to exclusively feed live??

I have a Lineatus wrasse that I just got from LA which is not eating and hiding in acclimation box. I have two sections of PVC zip tied together in acclimation box for him to hide in and that is all he does is hide. He will move from one section of PVC to the other but never when I am in the...

Got a new Coral Beauty Friday evening and I broke every cardinal new fish rule that reefers follow and I’ve learned my lesson. Idiot mistake #1 - Fish had just been received the day prior and I asked to see it feed. They put some mysis in and the CB went after it with gusto but immediately spit...

Hello R2R community! I’m running into a problem with a sick clownfish that I’ve had since 7/8/17. Aquarium size = nuvo 10 Set up on 4/6/17 We purchased a designer “flurry” clown on July 8th and brought him home from the LFS. He swam around like crazy and seemed to act like a normal clown...

My Ocellaris Clown hasn't eaten in a few days and seems to spend most of his time up at the top corner of the tank near the heater. This is my first fish so I can't identify if he is breathing fast either. Here is a video I took: 2 days ago when I first noticed this my parameters were...
