Canary blenny not eating

[Quandale applesauce]

I just got a canary blenny yesterday from my local fish store. They have had him for two months in hypo-salinity and have been feeding him mysis shrimp and some sea weed. He is in a quarantine tank by himself with two sponge filter, a hang on the back filter, and some pvc for bacteria growth and he also has a good amount of room to swim. He swims around a lot and will sometimes perch on the wall. He seems to be doing okay for now but the only problem is he is not eating anything I give him. I have tried mysis, calanous, frozen brine shrimp, and sea weed. Whenever I feed he seems to go look at the piece of food and it’s almost like he’s deciding if he should eat it or not and then he just doesn’t eat it.

Thanks for your suggestions

It's not uncommon for acclimating fish to not eat for a couple days. The trick is not to over feed the tank while the fish is acclimating. Sometimes they eat when you walk away from the tank.

My excellent LFS recommended trying garlic power (bright well aquatics). I put two drops on the mysis as it thaws then wash it off with a few rinses. The blenny loves it.
