Hey all,
So I found this beautiful blonde Naso in a LFS that I was told had not eaten the whole 8 days he was there. My guess what that the prazi or copper he was in at the LFS was the cause. So I went back two days later to see if he had eaten yet, I watched him eat mysis and flakes. Knowing that he probably wasn’t going to last in the fish store I wanted to give him a chance so I took him home and he is currently in a 20G observation tank for a week or two so I can chunk him up a bit before going into the main display.
It is currently day 5 with him, the first 3 days he wasn’t eating mysis or brine, but was eating spurilina flakes and devouring the continuous Nori I was giving him. Yesterday was the first day he refused to eat anything. His belly is pinched (as it was when I got him) he is very active but doesn’t want to eat anything. Ammonia is 0 ppm, no medication in the tank.
I UNDERSTAND A 20G is way way way way to small however he’s only going be in there for a week or 2 tops so I can watch him.
Do you think he is just stressed and not eating because of the small space or?
Thanks
