i got a 2.5-3" naso tang and a 2" square tail bristle tooth tang in qt right now. its been about a week, 4 days in therapeutic copper. The bristle tooth eats anything you throw in the tank, the naso only picks at the glass, heater, pvc fittings ect. He does go after food pretty aggressively but very rarely does he eat it, sometimes hell grab it and spit it out. i also have some nori on a little pvc fitting and ive caught him nipping at it here and there but either way he's getting skinny i dunno what to do at this point.
ive tried mysis, flakes, pellets, lrf fish frenzy, a home made concoction of tilapia, scallops, shrimp and squid soaked in garlic and selcon then frozen.
im going to get some live blackworms and live brine today if the lfs has any.
the craziest thing is he's active and not shy at all, obviously im not watching him 24/7 so he could be eating an im just not seeing it. there is never any left over food in the tank after an hour of feeding but im almost certain its the bristle tooth eating it all.
any advise...?
oh i almost forgot, all the food except the flakes have been soaked in GC with focus, garlic and selcon. maybe i should skip out on that step for now and see if hell eat non medicated food...?
