Barbonias won't eat

[Breakthecycle2]

Maybe. The diver or the wholesaler may have done it already and it may have developed a secondary infection. What type of conditions was his tank at the store? Was it just an empty tank so it had no choice but to be swimming in the open? Anthius in general are very finicky and sensitive. It's possible for an lfs to put a fish on display in an empty tank with surplus flow to keep it moving. If it was fresh out the bag who knows what it's been through.

It's a friend of mine, but he said they had come in the day before. Yes, they were just in a cube.

Still under the rock, still not eating.

Maybe try stress relief additives like Seachem's Prime and stress guard or Dr Tim's first defense?

Agreed hard to get to eat anthias will usually take live bbs. The best food I have found that is frozen is PE Calanus since you no longer can get cyclop-eeze.

If you are getting fish from your lfs make sure you make them feed themin front of you and only bring home the ones that are eating and are stress free
