00W's AIO Smorgasbord

I'm here reading you all my friend, I was in the tank looking at the foxface that I managed to get him to eat just, he ate at the store yesterday but hadn't eaten since he was here, he is also quite shy, as soon as he sees me approaching the tank he hides, I also cooked the hamburgers and the argentinian chorizos

Foxface are grazers/algae eaters. They'll eat anything but he could be browsing when you're not around also.

Mine loves frozen mysis shrimp. You could also try soaking something in a little garlic it increases their appetite so that might get him eating more.

But then I haven't had any issues with mine eating from day one. He was a little shy the first few days but now he's out as much as everyone else and was swimming around my hands when I was placing corals.

when I move away from the tank he swims super well but when I get closer he goes and hides.

I just drip a little garlic in the tank a few minutes before feeding when I have a picky eater. It gets everyone's appetites up - including coral!

Everything I have lol

Luis, have you ever tried feeding LRS reef frenzy food? It got my Royal gramma to eat in just a few hours, and he was super, super shy. It has a ton of good stuff (fish eggs, oyster, scallop, clam, mysis, brine, and rotifers just to name a few.) It also has garlic and selcon which are both appetite stimulants and boost the fishes immune system. I've enjoyed it so far.

Coral like garlic too too?!? Never knew!

Mine too. He hides when I approach the tank but he'll come out after a couple of minutes. I'd almost prefer it that way since his spines are venomous.

Tim do you use garlic oil? Or how do you apply it?

 

[luis angel]

They are very very shy Luis.
Do not worry my friend he will eat when ready.
Almost strictly algae eater.
Throw some broccoli or tie some fresh spinach to a rock.
He'll eat at night too.
They take awhile to get comfortable.

I have been using some Nyos pellets which are made from algae and the fish love them.

Need to try, I have never tried mysis, I have always used brine
